Getting comfortable with being an alcoholic
Last night while watching football a friend was asking if anyone else wanted a beer ; he knows I don't drink and when all my other friends declined a beer he says, "Well looks like I'm the only alcoholic here." To which I replied, "oh no you're not; I'm an alcoholic! And that's why I'm NOT drinking"
Just over a year sober and finally getting comfortable with that word and admitting it to others. I think the more open I am with telling people I'm an alcoholic and specifically using the word alcoholic the more the stigma will change.
Just my thoughts on this Sunday,
