Thanks for the replies.
You are all completely right. The advice is spot on. My family has all forgiven and support me. I have been open about my feelings and it has helped tremendously. Alcohol has always been this dark secret (although not as secret as i would like to have thought). I is such a relief to talk about it openly now.
I think you are right, i am quickly on the path of self forgiveness. It is probably just a normal part of our process. It would seem like if i didn't start with some shame then i probably wasnt being honest with myself about how far down i had gone.
Just thinking out load while enjoying my coffee.
Thanks for taking the time to read it
