Acceptance to the fact that you have the disease of alcoholism is the beginning. If you had another disease it may be easier. It is a disease. The Best disease to have, all you may need to do is to go to A.A. meetings where you will meet people with the same disease. It us a disease, not a disgrace.
Some go for detox and rehab. It is ashame that Alcoholism presents itself in quite an unacceptable way, yet if you told folks you have diabetes they wld have compassion.
