Exactly! You have to first honestly admit to yourself that you have a problem with alcohol. Everybody else already knows long before we ever do. We cannot recover until we admit to ourselves that we are indeed powerless.

Yup. ^
The bad news is , most of the problem is probably with you.
The good news is , most of the problem is probably with you.
You are the only thing you can change ! If your problem was all external stuff, you wouldn't stand a chance.

During a divorce I started...just couldn't face the shame of being abused by
an alkie husband..I felt god had simply forgotten about me...
I left the church because of shame..
This is my 7th time in..recovery...I've learned a lot ..and mama...the one
most important and I believe infallible truth through all my trials is this..
We give up on ourselves...we beat ourselves up on a daily basis because
of fear..and shame. We drink and or use because these emotions are too much
for us to bear.
His mercy is ever there for us..but we cannot feel or see it when we're in pain..
It is a lie that god isn't there...Mercy is going out to you at this very moment.
So you "used to be" a Christian? God doesn't ever disown a child...
Please stay on SR and read a lot. There are so many others that you will relate
with as I relate to you..
You will find a lot of love here and folks to talk with.
I also strongly recommend a visit to Christians in Recovery..they will not
judge you and are a great support with our beliefs.
Prayers and hugs,
