This time around, only my wife and my best friend know about my efforts and I plan to keep it this way until I have some serious sobriety under my belt, otherwise people won't take me seriously!
for me it was more about my motivations rather than who I told SM?
It would have been easy for me to tell noone and then, sometime, drink again, and then BS myself with the ol' "hurting noone but myself"line..
I wanted change not the same old same old.
Of course I went *way* overboard and told everyone...but at least I had no boltholes to hide in anymore.
Shining a light on our monsters kills them.
Doesn't have to be a flipping great searchlight like I used, but a little statement of intent and a little accountability can be useful IMO
sounds like you have a good balance this time?
