New Here!
Hey everyone!
I'm new here and not sure what to expect so I'm going to lay it all out. I'm a married, successful, 36-year-old high-functioning alcoholic with two adopted boys, 8 and 3, who has had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol since I was about 14-years-old. My relationship with alcohol really took a turn for the worse when my best friends committed suicide back in high school at the ages of 15 and 16. I was bad for a few years, but abstained from the time I married at 20-years-old until about the time I was about 30 but lately have fallen back into bad habits and I can't seem to overcome the cravings and move beyond the regret. My wife says I should get over it and think about my family but it's obviously not that easy or I wouldn't be here... I struggle with self-blame. I don't know what to expect but I know I need to make a change, which is why I'm here. Hope this helps!
