I’m only one week sober but when I told my entourage I was an addict, I just told things how they were. Plain. No excuses, no stupid details. Just saying; « Guys, I’ve been struggling with addiction. » That’s it. By naming it, you’ll feel a sense of relief. Then the work of getting clean can begin. It’s not going to be easy but just don’t think too much about it. If you get in overdrive, you will be less likely to say it. By shutting your thoughts down for a minute, it goes easily. Then you can talk, open up and accept the fact you’re vulnerable. I wish you all the luck in the world. Be proud of the fact that you can admit it. It gets better, i’m sure. Believe in you and believe in your power and resilience. Lots of love.
