I was always afraid to say I was drinking fool, well I have been sober for 26 years and proud of it. And today I'm fighting a new addiction and thats gambling.
But I'm not ashamed of it any more, To me it is great help to me to tell every one that I have these addictions.
I feel that the more it is out in the open the more I can recover from it.
Talk it out with friends and family ,coworkers or any one else that will lissen to you.
Be proud that you are trying to stop the addictions, or have stoped them completely.
Being ashamed will not help your recovery.
oh dear Kiwi, iam happy that you bet ur 1st addiction, and now u will do it for the second time, stay positive my sis ;-)
Iam not ashamed of being bulimic, it is an emotion that i did not release so it turned into addiction;)
