I have been addicted to alcohol for the past ten years and this is the first time I have shared my secret with anyone. My drinking has created a pretty miserable life for me.
My husband of one year has asked for a divorce because he can no longer watch me slowly kill myself.
Yes, it took this incredible loss to make me face my demons, and I am ready to do the work. i am worried about my sleep, more than anything else. I have had difficulty sleeping since I was a child. I began driniking excessively 10 years ago and it started with a glass of wine to help me sleep. I realize that I cannot stop at one, I have to finish the entire bottle.
I don't drink more than two glasses of wine in public. I wait until I go home, where I can keep my secret hidden. However, I am fooling myself if I think that I am truly hiding my problem
Again, I am grateful that I found you. I am feeling sad, alone, and very lost. But I know it's time to stop.
