THANK YOU

I am so overwhelmed by and thankful for the wonderful comments and messages I have received, I can’t even begin to know how to thank you all. The support is appreciated beyond words. I have tried to leave individual notes to people, but got a bit bogged down, so I apologize if I did not say a personal thank you and want you each to know how very special each comment has been.

I must say, I have been in tears through much of today as every new comment I read hits home each time.

All I can do now is stay true and stay clean-and hope to someday help someone else in need.

As the days and months go by, I will try talk about the why and how. The reason for this is again, to try to help someone else who is either going through this or who may think they know someone going through it but are not sure. The fact is, I was a closet alcoholic; to me this may be the worst kind because of the whole aspect of deception involved. To sneak and hide alcohol and lie and put on a façade-those are the hardest types for others to find out about; and also the hardest for others to believe are even alcoholics. But most of all, it’s the hardest type of alcoholic to trust again.

I will talk about all of that more in the future; for now all I can say I have not had a drink today, and tonight is my first AA meeting that John will be attending with me.

Again, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
