Hi, Don thanks for your message and I hope your feeling a little better . I decided to give up my Job, Spend so much time analysing other people that I think it was getting to me ! I also supervised a team of therapists so my work has always been a bit heavy (have worked in school child protection for a number of years). I think my problem is ...I live in a smallish town in England and know pretty much all the counsellors/therapists in a professional capacity so it's really difficult to seek help because they all gossip (in a proffesional capacity of course)! And the few peeps I have told about my alcohol use have all said I haven't really got a problem i'm just a bit stressed ..but if I tell them the full extent of it ..that sometimes I can't stand up for withdrawal symptoms( that last weeks while I detox myself), can't even bath or brush my hair they wouldn't know what to say ! and I would die of embarrassment ..! Also that would be hot gossip which would probably make me go into complete self destruct ! I pride myself on my appearance ,my home,my achievements....including my sons (who are friends and at university with 3 out of 4 of the gp's kids at my Gp practice they are also friendly with a lot of the teachers children that I work with )So I suppose we have all been trying to keep my boozing a secret for along time .....except my husband told his mum at christmas..(really upset about that as I hadn't drunk for a while)...she told her sister and it was accutely embarrassing as they kept offering everyone in the room a drink and leaving me out ! So everyone noticed ! anyway have had a relapse since then and my husband...said he knew I would ! Feel like i'm waffling on sorry ....thanks so much for your answer really appreciate it and wish you all the absolute best Take care Louise PS LIFESTYLEGURU is totally tongue in cheek as my life so messed up at times..I was joking with my husband saying I needed to re-invent myself and he suggested i become a lifestyle guru ! he can be quite funny sometimes..Louise
