I can so relate to so many of these posts. In the last several years I have used many of these techniques....actually most.

I normally would be going out (walking, not driving . to replace what I have drank today before my bf gets home. This would leave to excess that I would stash.

However, I don't want to do this anymore. This is not how I want to live my life. It's not what I had envisioned at all,,,,

So...I am going to face the music...one step at a time. First step, having my bf come home and say, " Did you drink all this???"" "Today???" "Did you do anything today?"

Yes....ugh...yes...ugh, no.

Unknowndoll,

I am going to have to agree with Liath. I too have been on and enjoyed this site so much!!! But.... i needed more strength for this alchololic brain!! Yes you guessed it... AA. I am on day 20 now and doing good. AA just gives that extra push for sobriety. I was lucky to hjoin with a freind who also suffered. We support each other. I read lots of books on alcholism too which helps me. best of luck to you. you can do it!!!!! Freedom!!!!!!!

This topic came up in the Army thread today. I remember seeing a thread like this one when I first joined (although I'm not sure this is the same one) that made me feel so much better. I had thought I was the only one...

Just keep trying unknown doll.
There are far more people in the same boat than you realise.
When I see how many unregistered 'visitors' we have on this site it seems very clear we are not alone.

I did such a good job hiding my secret that no one really understands WHY I quit.
I just had my 2 year anniversary of being sober and there is no 3D human who congratulated me. No one notices. No one cares, I do though.
And still hang on to sobriety like a life raft, because that is what it is.

I am on day 1 again today, I hide my drinking, but I guess its pretty obvious that I have been drinking. I usually buy the smaller 350 ml bottles so I can sneak it in the house in my purse. It is embarrassing to admit to hiding and drinking all the time. I have been trying to quit but haven't got passed a few days to a week before I fail and start drinking again. I have gotten to the point thats all I do is come home and drink until I go to bed, and if I am off work I often drink and sleep all day. But, here I am trying once again to fix this.
