Day one…
Been a long time coming. I don’t drink every day but when I do I can’t stop at 1. I have two kids whom I adore and a loving wife whom I can’t live without. They are both at risk now because I hide my drinking and lie to my wife about it.

Hello and welcome your making a great choice to reach out and get help… I used to hide my drug taking and the lies and guilt really isn’t any good for you or your family so maybe it’s time to have a honest talk to your wife and explain you want to be soba and how u feel when u drink at least that way your get the support you need from being at home. I found reading every thing i could on recovery really helped me get more understanding of why I couldn’t stop once I started and also checking in here each day to offload how I was coping really helps as well.
