Hardest 8 words...

"I am an Alcoholic and I need help". I finally said that to myself & wife nearly 10 months ago-what a HUGE relief. Took a 28 vacation. Have continued w/ individual counseling- gave up on AA a few months ago. What a roller coaster recovery can be!!!!! I have been viewing here for some time, finally joined & finally posting. Very thankful for this community.

Congratulations on making the choice for sobriety. I am following behind you with over 4 months and it is a roller coaster, but so worth it. I also had to humble myself and realize that I had no choice but to quit.
