My admission
My admission
Good morning to all. My name is John. I'm 53 years old and, I'm an alcoholic. This is my first public admission of being an alcoholic. In my 11th day of sobriety. Coming to realize that alcohol cost me everything that is near and dear to me.
I've been reading the posts on this site for a few days now. It has helped me immensely. Good luck to all in their journey through sobriety and, a better life!

Hello and welcome. Glad you decided to post.
It took me a long time admit I am an alcoholic, too. But it was cathartic. A load off my mind and soul.
It was scary to think I could never drink safely again. And I was every kind of drunk, at some point, there is.
I'm here to tell you, after drinking for twenty three years, even the most seemingly hopeless cases like me can recover.
Some find support groups helpful. You may check into that, if so inclined.
You'll find a lot of support here.
Congratulations on eleven days, and many more to you.

John, It's great to have you join us. You're among friends.
I was older too when I finally admitted it. I had spent decades trying to control it so I wouldn't have to give it up entirely. Not sure why - all it did was bring me misery. I felt so much better once I did admit it to myself and everyone else. It feels wonderful to be free.
