I t was hard to deal with many years later for everyone still talked about what i did and not about the reason why... It was me who had to tell them the Why's and explain all that i did, it wasn't easy but in the end it freed me from alot ....DMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082083513762162957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453215618236049952.post-58706002950006987122011-01-04T08:59:58.415-06:002011-01-04T08:59:58.415-06:00Thanks for checking in, it's appreciated.Thanks for checking in, it's appreciated.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346506272189195497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453215618236049952.post-70953036379933404582011-01-03T15:58:17.775-06:002011-01-03T15:58:17.775-06:00Just checking in to see how things are going. You ...Just checking in to see how things are going. You are dead on about the faces. I had a million of them and the one most people saw was a happily married, working mom of three great adorable kids, who seemed to have it all together and who could do anything. Heck even I bought into that face for a while. What people didn't see was me drinking myself into oblivion every night before I would haul my drunk ass up to bed. So when I finally reached the point of being miserable when I was drinking and miserable when I wasn't drinking, then I could take the mask off. Some people were pretty shocked. But for the first time in my life I wanted to be truthful, to stop hiding the ugly secret.It's very liberating. I have also found that by being myself I have inspired other people to be themselves as well. I am flawed, but this flaw/disease that I have makes me credible to my fellow AA members. It's what we all have in common. I am glad that you don't want to hide anymore, the truth is a lot more fun, than a pack of lies. Hang in there :)......drybottomgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702877045042502693noreply@blogger.com
