Does anyone else run into people who are taken back and cant believe your a alcoholic? For me it was what i turnt into while under the influence. Of course sober Lisa would never in a million years do half the stuff i did. Its like a alter ego. Im sure thats where my shame lays. Im so isolated. I dont even know how to be a friend or make one. Theres so much trauma.

Yep… that’s my story too…I didn’t even know me when I was drinking. Drunk Gayle made me sick! I can’t even look at a picture of me when I was drunk without shaking my head. The good thing is I’m so glad to be me all the time now…dust yourself off give yourself grace and embrace it all. I’m good at isolating too, and am struggling with that part too that’s why I’m here on this site…

I was a blackout drinker and everyone hated me when I got drunk. It's taken me six months just to get some of my family to start believing in me and some still don't think I will change.I know that I've done alot of damage and I have to be patient it will come in good time. Admitting I was as bad as I was ; was the hardest thing to do . My ego has done a 360. Keep up the good work
