Anonymity vs. Public Recovery
I’ve really been struggling with my not-so-private blog life. I worry that as I become more of an active member of my community and a more productive member of society whether I shouldn’t keep my posts pertaining to alcoholism and my recovery less public. I wonder about how my openness about addiction may have a negative effect on my children, my husband, my parents, my co-workers and friends. I’m very active in my son’s school and teach a couple of classes there…I wouldn’t want parents to be concerned about my recovery and how it might effect their children. On the other hand, my honesty and openness about my alcoholism is a huge part of my recovery. At some point, I’m going to need to resolve this issue with myself. Argh.
In the meantime, I would like to briefly mention that someone I love dearly and have become very good friends with has decided to go back out. She’s a wonderful person that’s had a very difficult life and lives with some daily struggles. Please pray for her. I miss her terribly and hope that she’s safe. I hope that she finds the courage to find her way back.

I will say a prayer for her tonight. As far as Anonymity vs Public for me the less eyes watching me the better.
