Hi ~ I posted somewhere else, but thought I'd put one here, too! My name is Donna and I am on my first step. I have been out of control for about 3 years now with my drinking/gambling. Have finally hit bottom and have called out for help. I am just beginning this long road to myself. I am so scared and hopeful. I am so tired of my lying, stealing, manipulating, just so tired of the guilt and feeling terrible ~ only to do it all over again.

I have a wonderful husband of 8 years. I feel I must be completely honest with him about all the lying and everything that I have done. I am terrified, but want it all out. I want a clean start ~ literally. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? Is it too early in my recovery? Thanks for this website, it is a Godsend to me right now. I feel like I am insane. I feel like I am the worst person in the world! Thanks again - and I will keep coming back
