Well, I suppose if you can't be honest in your LiveJournal you can't be honest anyhere, so here goes.

I have a problem with alcohol.

That is to say, I am not physically addicted to it - I don't need huge amounts every day or suffer withdrawal. No, that would be easier

Recognizing that you have a problem is always the most important step. I know you are a strong, smart woman, and you can do this. I support you as much as I can from so far away.

It's good that you can be honest about this and that you've taken the necessary steps to ensure that your problem can be handled. You should be proud of yourself.

It sounds like you've developed a good coping strategy for dealing with it. I think there are many options for how to handle a drinking problem and that AA isn't always the only or the best way for everyone. I wish you good luck and fortitude in dealing with this difficulty in your life. Congrats on recognizing you have a problem and doing something about it. You're miles ahead of most people.

Like others have already said, recognizing that a problem exists is the first step.

I don't really have anything to add to what the others have already said, so I'll just give you a hug and some encouragement. *hug*
