Congratulations on your Day 2, aboveangel. It's great that you found us.
I drank most of my adult life. I deeply regret the wasted time & dangerous situations I put myself in. I don't think feeling ashamed is the way to go, and certainly don't feel embarrassed. No one deliberately sets out to ruin their life. I started drinking to feel more sociable & less shy. It certainly backfired on me. It feels wonderful to be free of it. I'm glad you've decided to make this big change in your life. We're here to encourage you.
