    • Close Alcoholism

      I am finally coming out of the closet.. No no not that closet. I am an alcoholic. I use to think that I could control it but lately it has got the better of me. Ouch, it hurts to even admit. I dont know if the depression got me drinking or the drinking gave me the depression. But I knew at a young age I was depressed and I surely wasnt drinking back then. I work in bars for a long time. Glad I dont do that now, it would be pretty hard to get sober. Well I said it, now wish me luck.2 days sober
