So, I did go to my therapist and told her everything. She was surprised but very supportive. She could not believe that I could drink an entire bottle of wine w/o anyone noticing I was intoxicated. Obviously NOT an alcoholic!
Anyway, went to a meeting, picked up a white chip and shared about what was going on. I got so much love and support. I told my husband a few days later. He was hurt but supportive and we went and had a family session with my therapist. I found a sponser and have been going to meetings, praying and reading my daily meditations.
It feels so good to wake up knowing that I don't have any secrets.
Way to go !!!!! It feels good doesnt it! Glad your making it to meetings! Come back and share often!!

Yayyyyyyy!!!!! I am soooo glad you made some awesome steps forward!! Just goes to show that our worst fears almost NEVER EVER materialize. We have such a distorted perception of how others are going to react.... and they usually surprise us once it is all said and done.
More importantly, is how YOU feel inside, and the freedom of unloading that heavy baggage from your own shoulders! I am so happy for you, keep up the good work, and keep sharing! You are an inspiration to me and others!!
