Accountability

Many of you helped me realize that being a closet alcoholic is not helpful in my recovery.. Soo, I made plans with two of my best friends for next Sunday or Monday, we haven't been close in a really long time but I miss them :broken_heart: I think they knew I had a problem but never mentioned it, well they did.. but in a passive aggressive way, I think they just didn't want to tick me off :woman_facepalming: I'm going to sit down with them over breakfast or lunch and tell them about my addiction. I think it will help with taking accountability, and maybe they can be helpful. They are both very understanding, and I believe it will be a good step towards my recovery :heart: I attended an online meeting, and planning on attending more. Thanks for the raw Truth, I needed it.

This is such a good idea. I am really proud of you for taking this step. It’s not easy but it’s worth it! Only good can come out of it. :white_heart:

:heartpulse: it may be hard in the moment, but you will feel better for it. Telling my friends I was done drinking, and admitting that it was because I’m an alcoholic, was so relieving. That kind of radical honesty does wonders for your connections with people.
