Fresh out of denial

Just made a profile for this site after FINALLY stopping the denial I’ve lived in for a very long time. Reading the stories and post’s makes me realize I’m not the only one out here struggling. This year I’ve had 8 days at the most of sobriety and it was torture but I still was in denial that I can do this myself…. Well apparently I can’t! This is scary, sense of guilt and shame (I know over time that will subside) but I’m finally ready to put the work and be raw. I was a workaholic and I am an alcoholic. Those 2 combinations led to burnout, depression and anxiety and embarrassment to admit. One day at a time right? Lol…. (Gonna trying to hold on to my humor to get though).
