guymeister" That actually wouldn't be a cruel thing to say in my opinion. She needs to understand that was a poor effort at staying sober. She was bored? People weren't talking to her? She says she had had it? Had what? That was a very flimsy excuse to use. What strikes me that why it was such a poor effort is that we forget she is being followed around by a camera man! Good lord the devil himself can be good if you follow him with a camera! What are they not going to see the tape on this one! For Amber's sake they need to confront an "in your face" use like this one. It really almost tops Steven using it but at least he was realizing he can't be TAPED using as that wouldn't even BE a serious person in sobriety. They really should not let this go as exceptional circumstances but I think they will.

hannah47: I can relate to your fears about revealing yourself to others. I don't tell anyone I am a recovering alcoholic. I am 43 years old. I have remarried but I didn't tell my current wife till later in the relationship. I started off by telling this one woman right away and you guessed it. Gone. My advice is this will give you a good excuse to take it slow with someone. You can tell them after you are sure they are interested. At that point they can make a decision more on your own merits otherwise my experience is you are just judged on your addiction and potential for being trouble. I know other addicts in meetings probably most don't agree with me on that but that is why I decided to write this. I am in a position where that kind of thing is not common or expected. I have 2 college degrees and am finishing my third. Was in the top 3% of the country on the SAT's so you can imagine people never imagine I could be an addict based on my professional life and what they see I can do. I like you don't really want to jeopardize that. Good Luck in whatever you do but hang in there you are not as alone as you think. It is all in your head and you can join others if you are willing to. It isn't written on your forehead.

I now know why I feel a connection w/Amber. Please Amber get back w/it. I need to see that you can make it. I feel alone too, and would like to have someone in my life to, but I need to be careful to not allow bad elements around my son. Its hard b/c I have had to keep my past secret, therefore have nobody to talk to. When I go to my son's football games, I am right in there with all the moms, and feel a connection but am not able to reveal myself, as I am protecting my son's reputation. So i feel alone, and to top it off at my job, its even harder, cuz I am a social worker. There at my job, I socialize and get along w/everyone, however do not trust anyone, and keep things private. I have been clean for over 3 years, but do I have an ugly past, that I am ashamed of. I have not dated in 7 years, b.c I know I will have to reveal the past, and am afraid to.
