Yesterday was 2 years since I became clean and sober. I posted as much on my facebook page. I have only about 60 friends and family and pretty much all of them know there is/was an issue.
My parents knew the full extent of it and how close I came to ruining my life/ending up dead/in hospital etc.
My dad phoned me at 8am and asked I take the post down "because we've got family on there".
I am open about my struggle and have found that several people have asked me about it privately and shared their own worries about being addicted to wine especially.
AIBU to refuse to keep quiet or be ashamed?
Thanks.
