This is my first public discussion about being an alcholic. It hads been a discussion between myself and my family for many years, as well as my doctor.
I like to drink but it keeps me from doing other things, and creates risk in my life.

Welcome and congratulations on taking that first step. I think there is a power in saying it "out loud." Sending you supportive thoughts.

Welcome, it is very true what you say, it does stop you from enjoying other aspects of life in general.

Glad you are here.
