Welcome to the family.
You'll find lots of support here.
I think it makes coming off a bender way worse. I do plan on coming clean with my Dr., who I have successfully managed to convince I have always been a social drinker. I wonder if he will keep me on the meds. I imagine that with counseling things will improve. Can recovery occur in isolation? I doubt it.
I am confident I can do this, I think I will just need constant support/contact.
Seriously, I cant raise children while sneaking nips in the garage and stashing vodka all over the house. I will get caught, and that would be devastating. It cant happen.
