This site feels really safe to me as it is well monitored, so I feel pretty confident about posting and don't worry about being "found out". Plus, I figure anyone who comes looking around AHC, probably needs help with the same issues and is not likely to judge me about mine.

I would say the support group is the best way to stay connected.

Your concern about privacy is common. Many members refrain from posting due to this concern. We are very aware of this and always monitor content of posts to be sure identifying information is never divulged. Your username and avatar does not reveal anything about you so it would be very very difficult for someone to identify you.

If you ever have any concerns about privacy you can always contact the Health Educators through the feedback section.

~m, sounds as though we are kindred spirits. Man, life is tough. Thanks for the encouragement. What is the best way to stay connected on here? blogs? Im totally new to this and a little paranoid about someone finding out who I am - crazy!

Oh my... stillatthecross... I am moved to tears reading your post. I'm not sure what to say. Please keep posting. I agree with Ashley about you're NOT being a phony. You are being so real it hurts my heart for you and me and the others. It's a good hurt though because it means we are starting to heal and that always hurts the worst. Anyway, Ashley said it so much better. Just print her post out and post it on your bathroom mirror and also into your heart.

I also lost a son. In Iraq. Four years ago. Turned our lives upsidedown. While I've always been an alcoholic... I have managed to control it for most of my life... not always, but mostly. All that changed when he died. Until recently, I haven't had a sober day since.

In the past, I also have found healing in horses. It's a long and varied history so I won't go into it now, but just want to say you have chosen a wonderful path toward healing for yourself and your clients. Equine therapy is ... just ... so pure... so honest. I don't have any horse friends at the moment so remembering and writing about it here is hard.... sad. But Hey! Or should I say HAY!

I am not going to drink over this Authentic Emotion... I am going to feel it... yuck... no, wait... I mean yay!

Thank you so much for sharing your struggle and story. Talk about inspiration!

So true.

Do not think you are a phoney. Like you said, you are someone hurting who is now reaching out for help. From the few short posts I have read from you I know you are nothing even close to a phoney. It sounds like you are an articulate, intelligent, strong, and extremely caring women. It also sounds like you are using your strengths and your nature to give back. I can see the potential for endless opportunities for you but I know it can be hard to see them right now.

totally not sure about the opportunities. hopefully to help/support others. when my son died 7 years ago a huge part of me died also. through a series of circumstances, totally not of my planning, but by just putting one foot in front of the other, God gave me a horse that began to heal me. Now I have 13 horses that I use to help other hurting people. No one knows about my alcohol struggle and I feel like a real phoney because most people would not even guess. But then I realize, I am just one more hurting person that needs help.

And also a self worth destroyer. Very articulate stillatthecross.

Is this where the opportunity comes from too? What is exciting about the opportunity that will come from this?

I have a long, long way to go and am aware of the huge struggle today and every day ahead. I have joy in the knowledge that this struggle can be used for something good, something beyond my knowledge and understanding. I have joy in knowing that I don't have to lie or hide (or think I am hiding) things from my husband and family - actually even from myself. Denial is a joy stealer

Hello Stillatthecross,

You are doing so well. Your realistic but still optimistic outlook will get you far.

I love how you used the word Joy to describe part of your experience. What does the joy come from exactly?

was atthecross now stillatthecross. Today is day six - a new day filled with hope and discouragement, joy and pain, opportunities and failure. I desire to end this day well and resist my temptations to drink.
