Hello all this is scary even though u can't see me I'm real

This is my first time registered and actually posting. Been looking at this site for several days. I am still secretly drinking so I have clean date as you all have. You AL give me inspiration tho. I don't want this life anymore. I am lonely and isolate myself from a loving family. I have beautiful children and am a recent grandma. WHY can't that be enough for me to stop this???!!! I hate myself and I feel guilty every time I drink!!! This started only after last several years, but the demon has grown out of control. I am also blessed with a good job who has been so understanding of my work absences. Sure many ppl see through me. My fake smile and constant lies. Sumthing I hate from others!! I became that and I can't do it anymore! !!thanks for allowing me to share

Glad you are here SD - The demon was getting out of control for me too, despite having many that love & care for me. Not drinking is tough sometimes, but not as tough as continuing to live in that cycle. I think we all deserve to live free of it's chains. You are among friends here and will find much support & understanding.

Welcome to SR secretdrunk

I don;t believe alcohol is a moral failing - it's an addiction and illness. There's no sense ion beating yourself up.

You'll find a ton of support and encouragement here.

If I can get sober, I truly believe you can too.
It;s never too late to be who you want to be

We know you're real Secretdrunk - and we're so glad you're here.

Drinking turned me into someone I didn't even recognize. It was once fun and relaxing - but over the years it became a necessity. It feels so good to be free of it. You can do this.

Welcome to the family SD. I hope the support here can help you stop drinking for good, as it did for me.

Welcome fellow grandpa. You'd be surprised how many people already know the secret and see through the lies. I thought I was fooling the world until I got that wake up slap in the face.
It's never too late to pull yourself out of this. Granted it's not easy but completely possible.
I've said this in other posts but one of my motivations for getting sober is for my grandsons to never have the memory of a drunk grandpa. That and living to see them grow up.

Welcome, SD, but please quit the self-loathing! Being victimized by alcohol does not make you a bad person! And it will certainly undermine your efforts to fix the problem.

You can do it!

Welcome! This pretty much sums up the whole thing with sobriety. Drinking became harder than not drinking. The cycle of daily drinking and daily hangovers was a living nightmare. I also have a great guy and awesome family and I still drank alcoholically for years. Now can be your time to stop.
