I’m with you BT: I think friends and even my partner would be totally shocked to know how much I was actually drinking (and how much I depended on it). The company of others on this forum with whom I can be honest and receive empathy is a great comfort and has been therapeutic for me as well; it gives me a chance to engage with my alcohol demons with the assistance of others who understand and can share advice. So I’m glad that you found us I’m sensing you feel the same
And congrats on 5 days! Brilliant news!
