Lies, hiding, isolation, guilt, shame are all part of the disease. I used to be so proud of myself on the nights I did control it. And ya know, sometimes I did only have a beer or two and that was it. Sometimes, if it was beer I didn't like, it could sit for months in the fridge or pantry without me being tempted. Because of this I rationalized to myself that I wasn't truly an alcoholic. Because alcoholics drink everything in sight, right? But no, not necessarily. Last summer I hid alot of bottles of vodka. This summer I plan on my first sober summer in 20 years.

I have booked many a ticket on the proverbial Titanic - I need to remember that the next time I start off considering that again.
