I want to thank everyone for welcoming me to the site. It feels really good to have support through this and know that there are others struggling and pushing through this. I am feeling really positive today and know this is where my life starts to begin. I think the most rewarding thing for me is to finally say and acknowledge to myself and to my family that I have a problem, not cover it up, or deny it as a problem.
Welcome Joanna, day 5, that's awesome! Have you been going to face to face meetings? It feels so good when you finally admit the truth doesn't it? We have these stereotypes in our heads, I remember telling myself, I haven't lost my job, I don't have a DUI, blah, blah, blah, therefore I can't be an alcoholic. Just strange that I can't seem to get through one day without drinking and if by chance I don't drink, I'm a moody b!! Anyhow, welcome, we're so happy your here! Doll
Congrats, Joanna on day 5. It's a liberating feeling, isn't it dear? To finally admit our alcoholism, I mean. The true miracle began the day after my initial surrender, and "AA" is where I've been ever since. So keep coming back Joanna and never give up hope. We won't, either should you.
