I've never said it out loud before, but I am an alcoholic.

I have never said it out loud before, but I felt safe to do so!

Thank you for your brief but powerful feedback.

The first step in any journey is acceptance and it sounds like this has been something which you've been aware of and too fearful to acknowledge and share with others for quite some time.

It's great that you now feel safe enough to do so. Good luck with your recovery journey and DART look forward to supporting you with this!
