no one in my family knows about my alcoholism. i’m about to tell my mom for the first time and everything i’ve been going through. it’s gotten to the point where i think she needs to hear it. i’m nervous for her response. i love my mom a lot and i’m scared that this will change the way she sees me. i’m hoping for love and support. i know she loves me, but i’m still just really scared. please send me some good vibes. i’ll make a post updating once i’m back

That’s me, sending all my good vibes your way. Its hard to admit that you have a problem. But it can only help you in the long run. And I’m sure she would be horrified if she knew you’d think she feels less of you. I’m sure she loves you very much and only wants the best for you. We are our own worst critics. Remember that

I was hesitant to tell anyone about my own alcoholism. In the end, it was always fine because nobody could ever say I wasn’t honest. I think having your very close loved ones understand and be able to support you is pretty important for recovery.

i was so scared to tell her that i burst into tears before i even started speaking. i was finally able to get out the words and tell her about my alcoholism and my stay in the hospital and detoxing. she was horrified. i think shocked would maybe be a better word. no one knew about my addiction. i was very sneaky about it. she didn’t even know i drank. it was a really tough conversation, especially because she couldn’t understand how i could let this happen after seeing my dad go through it all. but she was more upset that i didn’t tell her before now and that i went through all of this on my own. i’m overall satisfied with how the conversation went and am feeling like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
thank you all for your good vibes and support, it helped get me through this!
