I'm still a drinker and i'm still struggling. But I embarrassed myself so many times. SO MANY TIMES. Finally, I just realized that when I am drinking, I don't go out, I don't answer the phone, I don't type anything on FB.

I have just enough self control to cut myself off from the world to avoid humiliation.
Welcome to the community. Yes, social media and drinking are a dangerous combination! In your case, don't feel too ashamed. You've made a good decision coming here and recognizing you need a change.
Strangely, while there were periods where I drank daily, and quite a bit (2 bottles of wine or a 24 of vodka) I was not the type to blackout or behave completely out of character. This and I still had some poorly timed/composed texts! We've been there.
