Well done for being honest Opalblue. Being honest with my family and friends about my drinking was crucial to my sobriety. I tried to hide it for so long as I was ashamed. In the end I was so desperate I just came clean. I needed help and support. And i got it in bucket loads. You have done the right thing for your recovery.
