Well, I did it! I finally sat down and talked with my BF. I told him of my struggles with AL for the past 9 years. I told him that I just have to deal with this drinking problem, and do you know what he said? No, it's OUR problem. His support means so much to me. He is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me (well, next to having my daughter that is).
Then I sat down and told my parents about it all. Do you know what they said to me? We knew. I said, "you knew and didn't say anything to me?" Mom said that if they did try to talk to me, I just would have stormed out of the house and stopped speaking to them. She was right -- that's exactly what I would have done. She said that they were just waiting for me to do something about it because it was all up to me. WOW! I was really impressed. Not what I expected from my parents.
The reason why I didn't say anything to anyone before was because I didn't want to stop. I didn't want them to interfere. Now they all know so that they can help me on this journey to total sobriety.
So, for those that think they're hiding their drinking problem from everyone -- think again. They already know.
