Sadie,
This struck a cord with me:
I remember as a kid throwing out my parent's liquor because I hated it so much. I am over 40 and I used to hate my Dad's drinking. I thought I would never be like him. Who would want to? Yet I am an alcoholic today.
I am on Day Two here and starting to feel better. So glad you made the first step in admitting you have a problem. You are not alone. We are all behind you on this.
