To Come Out of the Closet Or Not? Anxiety of Your Past Might Mean No

So what is the best route to take?Ageless BrainObviously there are only two options. Shout it out to the world or keep it in the family and let nature take it's course. There is no definitive answer and it all comes down to the individual and how comfortable they feel with their new found status of a "Recovering Addict/Alcoholic". Anxiety of Addiction and Alcohol place other pressures on you. Like staying sober. This comes foremost and your Addiction of the mind and body, although a thing of the past for the present , is not always guaranteed.

The world of keeping it a secret is best seen in the workings of the many recovery support organisations. The famous phrase "I am Alan and I am an alcoholic" spoken to a group of fellow addicts in a suburban hall or church is an image I am sure you are all familiar with. I do not think that I am far off the mark when I state that these type of support organisation have helped millions of sufferers over the decades. You can almost define the modern acquired knowledge for the recovery and treatment of Alcoholics as a direct result of the actions and deeds of these fine bodies of men and women. I can only sing the highest praise and if I was a drinker a toast would be in order. The numerous support structures worldwide that strive to make the transition from addict to recovering addict a little more possible are to be praised and thanked for their work.

The fact of the matter is that I did not seek the help of such organisations. For me it was a personal decision to go public. I live in a small town (Margate, South Africa) and after my story was published in Mens Health I was then known as Alan, the recovering addict and alcoholic. I can never forget my regular bank teller asking for my autograph. To this day copies of my article pop up in Doctors waiting rooms and I will get a phone call for somebody looking for advice.

I basically felt that by going public I was reinforcing my will to stay clean by the added pressure of everybody who knew my story. As we are all aware only time will tell if I was correct. Another factor in my decision was the fact that I had my own business and there would be no pressure at work on me. On the plus side I have had the wonderful opportunity to help others who find themselves in the same boat. I was able to pass on some hard earned experience and hopefully contribute to another human beings road to eventual recovery. A priceless byproduct of my own fall from grace.
