I am a firm believe in the 'one step at a time' philosophy. You haven't been sober more than a few hours. Pause when agitated. Get your head clear. As Berry said, the opportunity to speak with your folks doesn't have an expiration date.
I am sensing, from all your threads, a need to verbally/emotionally throw up (couldn't think of a better term) everything that is coming up for you right now. I get that....needing to 'fix', get 'honest', bring the world into your world constantly. Right now, believe me, you aren't thinking clearly. Get sober. I mentioned a women's meeting in another thread. Go. Talk with other women that have probably been through everything you are experiencing and then some.
Tell your folks that you are an addict and have stopped drinking. Tell them you need support and therapy. Speak with your therapist about all this first.
Hang in there. Don't drink. Things will get better but it takes TIME my dear
I agree with a lot of what you wrote. Especially about the impulsive and emotionally charged side of me. Initially I was just gonna tell my rents that I was a boozer. But in the end I revealed all. I think it was because I have been lying to them for ages in order to cover my alcoholism. Telling them was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do, but I am glad I did. My dad has taken a day off work today and has been an absolute trooper.
