I start to feel like I could do that and not get in trouble.

I feel the same way. During the summer when I was in IOP 3 days a week plus counseling, I knew I was doing the right thing. Now I'm back at work (teaching) and everything seems normal again. It's hard not to think that I will be ok this time. I have to find more ways to be around people in recovery. IOP is more of a class, so I don't really get to know people.

I'd consider telling the people who need to know...secrets and lies can weigh us down...the truth really will set you free...

I know that's true. I just dread it. I don't know how to tell my husband. After I tell him, I can tell the others who know and have been so supportive of me.

I am in the same boat right now. I just did the same thing. I realized that I did not have enough support. I just read a book called "being sober"it was great. It has a lot to do with the 12 step plan but had other great information as well. Just add more support, whether it be a person you can call, or a book you can read, or AA. Whatever it is just keep trying and you can do this.
