I’m new to this forum and just thought it might help to hear stories so I don’t feel so alone and very scared. I drink . And have been hiding it for years now as my partner never really liked me drinking as I always had that vibe too many .
So I hid it and now it’s a part of my life . He doesn’t understand as he has he strongest willpower ever. Anyway he found out I was drinking on a family holiday and it ruined it for him and I have pushed him too far I feel. So back on the wagon and day 2 here. Nervous and scared.

Welcome, Lmag, and well done on day 2. I hope you stick around and post often. This site has been a very important part of my recovery.
Things will get better--I understand the nervousness and fear, but there is a fabulous sober life waiting. Don't get discouraged--there will be ups and downs but there is no situation that drinking will not make worse. Best wishes on your sober journey.

Hello, welcome and congratulations on two days.
I hid my drinking, too. Or at least I thought I was hiding it. I was pretty crafty about it at first, but then it became obvious to those around me that I was drinking.
I was only hiding the realization from myself that I could not control my drinking. And I was drinking all the time, no matter the time of day.
You're definitely not alone. My drinking progressed to the point where I was drinking every day. All day and night. Drinking tends to be progressive to the alcoholic.
Best to you, and stick around. You'll find a lot of support here.

I forgot to mention, you're not alone. And I was definitely scared to stop drinking, too.
I didn't know what to expect. I had lost my real self to drinking years before. I didn't even know what I would be like sober.
Turns out, I like the sober me.
It's natural to be scared about something that has become such a big part of our lives. Nervous and anxious, too.
These things will fade away once we get a little sobriety under our belt.
There's a good, sober person in you just waiting to come out. I think you'll like the new you and I bet your partner will too.
Best to you. I've been in your spot. You're not alone.

Hi Lmag. I've been here for almost a year and there is a ton of info and advice here to help you. Come over the the 24 thread too, it is a great way to meet folks and commit to 24 hours every day. I'll look forward to seeing you around xx
Lmag, I hid, or tried to hide, my drinking from my spouse, too. It was awful - for him and for me. It becomes part of your life and lying becomes the norm. You've come to a great place to find support!
