Just Beginning

Hi, I am not really sure where to begin so I guess I will just say I am addicted to alcohol. I have had this addiction for around 20 years. I drink every day but I only drink at night. I only drink when I am alone. I don't drink in public or if I do, I drink very little.

None of my family or friends know I have this addiction so I am trying to seek support from other places, as well as offer support when I can. I recently found a therapist, a Psychiatrist, went to an AA meeting (which I did not like and fought back tears through the entire meeting). I am trying to do anything I can to help me get & stay sober. I know I haven't fully given AA a chance and I will go to another meeting at a different location and see if I like it any better.

I went 3 days without drinking last week but messed up Friday & Saturday. This will be my 3rd day (again) without drinking. I hope I can make it through the entire week. Thank you for listening
