Used to wonder every time I worked out in the morning if those around me could smell the alcohol in my sweat even if I was unaware of it... I wondered if they knew and just never said anything.

Now I don't need to give that a second thought anymore :-)

When I was buying wine as soon as the store opened at 8 am, I always wondered what they thought of me, so obviously in distress. So glad those days are long gone.

I used to wonder if anybody knew about the water bottle of vodka that I would turn red with crystal light packs and carry around. So glad that I don't have to smell my water bottles anymore before I drink them

Familiar with your fears about people smelling alcohol on you. I used to drink 7up with vodka at work all day long. And always wondered if people knew. Isn't it easier on the nerves not to have to worry about that? ��

Wow I can relate to all of these. I remember being the first one at the liquor store when it opened, shaking so badly trying to pull the money out of my wallet that I was afraid the wouldn't sell me the booze. I just got teary eyed writing that. Life was sheer hell when I was in active addiction. My heart breaks for every alcoholic and addict still suffering.

That was me too, waking up at 4 am, covered in sweat, knowing there's no way I can go to work like that, so just wait for 8am when they'll finally sell me my fix. Those white knuckled drives were awful. But no more!
