When an alcoholic stops drinking their problems become apparent.

Nicely said. I found the same was true for me...but I also realised that I picked up addiction along the way.

my problems have been very apparent for the last 27 years. when i added the grief from by dad's death, i also added the alcohol. after about 6 months of that sh** i finally decided to get real (thanks to a kick in the pants from a friend) and accept that drinking made the pain worse not better.
stopped drinking; problems still the same; ready to try counseling for real this time . . . no hiding, no ********, no shame -- just me.
thanks for the feedback. good post
