[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people can definitely hide it. When DD was young I became friendly with a mom who volunteered with me. She had a successful career and always seemed so put together. She was always the first person to step up to help others and a fantastic mom. She seemed to have a happy marriage. I never suspected a thing. Eventually she faded on the friendship and I learned later that it was because she sought treatment. I never would have guessed. I felt like a lousy friend for not offering support. She did recover and has been sober a long long time. She now volunteers in multiple capacities related to alcohol use. I’m glad she found her happy ending. It’s a disease and the stigma deters people from treatment. [/quote] Seeking treatment doesn't necessarily mean she was an out of control alcoholic. To some anxious people a couple glasses of wine most nights might be recovery-worthy.[/quote]
