That is exactly how I felt! I put myself in rehab and we had AA meetings twice a week. We also had to introduce ourselves in the group sessions every time someone new joined the rehab (which was daily). Everyone opened with “Hi, I am (insert name) and I am an alcoholic. I couldn’t say it, took me a month and nearly 30 times before I could say those words. xx
