Oh, Edye, you're doing the right thing now! You've started off in the right direction before it's gotten any worse, and that is good.
For some reason, when I started in on sobriety I really felt I needed to keep it secret, to just "do it for me" or something--I don't know. So I didn't come right out with my
good (for a change) secret to my husband or anybody. It was my own thing. Once I got a couple weeks under my belt, I felt more confident about it or something, and decided to tell him all about it. And though he cannot
at all relate to this problem (drinking is such a non-issue for him, lucky guy-), he's been great. He actually said he'd had some concerns about my drinking in the past, but wasn't sure how to bring it up to me. Now I think he's nearly as relieved as I am!
You are in a good place now, Edye. I'm so glad you are here
