Same here cotton. A couple new I had an alcoholic problem and that it was bad, but still didn't know the real truth. It was really, really bad.
When I quit pills, nobody knew. I survived, but my addiction simply changed boats. I was always abusing something until I came here and posted day 1 on 4/20/15.
Wonderful people and lots of good advise. It's nice to share with other who understand.
Keep up the awesomeness!
