I have aa problem. They had nooooooo clue. It really upset them but after a couple of hours talking things seeeme dto calm down. Lots of crying. I blacked out on Sunday and really hurt myself, I'll live, but first thing Monday morning I just had to call my Mom and tell her I'm an alcoholic. They're very supporting of me and say this is the beginning of a new life for me. It really helped. Looked my mother in the eye and said never again. Zero sleep last night and loooong day at work. Uhggggg

Good for you, JediTrey. I'm glad you have some support.

I remember admitting my problem to my parents. I also remember them finding out about another issue I had. Once all the lies and mist had gone I felt a huge wave of relief come over me.

Are there any AA meetings in your area you could go too today?

What else are you going to do now?

Actually had a conversation with my own mother tonight about this and it made me think. She told me never to make promises to her about alcohol. It is an addiction, and she wants me to beat it, but only wants me to say one day at a time. No promises I might not be able to live up to. No pain from letting her down, just take it one step at a time. Go see your Dr, get a therapist, join AA but no promises.

Hi Jedi. You won't ever have to feel this miserable again - here's where it can end, and you can begin to heal.

I felt so much better once my 'secret' was out and I admitted how I'd been struggling for a long time. It was so good to be rid of that burden - all the lying and pretending. Here's hoping you feel much better tomorrow. You're on your way to a better life.
