Hey, lots of similarities here!!! I used all the tricks in the book! I started off just telling my fiance i wanted to cut down & then i got caught swigging from a bottle of vodka. I could've died of shame, but i just came clean about it all. He still doesn't understand my need & want to drink but he accepts i most definitely have a problem!!!!
If i were u id come clean as it may make things easier for ur recovery, good luck & i hope the bus journey isn't too dull!!!
