Oky: I too have trouble admitting that I'm an alcoholic. I haven't told my daughter who would probably say: "Mom, you're nuts to say that!" I asked my sponsor about it, & he said I didn't have to tell her. I will tell my son who lives in another part of the country. He's an AA member himself, & probably knew all along that I drank too much for all the wrong reasons. I don't think we have to tell everyone we know. I've been picking & choosing. I hid my drinking so well that many people would be very shocked. As I go along, I'll know who to tell & who not to tell & when. I'm trying to let my inner self guide me into that decision. I plan on continuing in AA, & I'm sure that I'll feel differently about all this as time goes on.
I went to a really moving meeting last night. There was a visiting group there w/a bunch of speakers. Some of the stories were unbelievable & inspiring.
