I am so sorry you are hurting. I am sure your friends will still be your friends. I think drinking can make us do and say a lot of things we normally wouldn't do and I think most people have been there.
Yes I have been in hell, living abuse is hell, living the effects are hell. But you can come out of it too.You took a major step and admitted out loud that yes, you were abused. At least that was a huge step for me. Now that you have admitted it to yourself, the healing can begin because you have takes some of the power of the secret away. I am not saying that it doesn't hurt, because it hurts like crazy. I remember crying all night long about it when I admitted it to myself, and I don't cry normally. But it unleased something from me and became the catalist in my life where I have changed and healed so much since then.
I think you are on your way! I am proud of you! Go easy on yourself, you are a beautiful person, I can tell, you are just hurting.
