This Will Probably Come as a Surprise to No One

 Well folks, it turns out I'm an alcoholic. Not the "I joke about being an alcoholic, but really I just love craft beer and a good time," type of alcoholic I was pretending (/trying) to be; but an actual "I can't control my drinking when I drink sometimes (nearly all times)," type of alcoholic. I don't say all this to elicit any reaction, but instead for my own accountability.

At the moment, I really don't feel the need to go into details of what brought me to this realization. (It was nothing illegal or anything like that, so no worries there). While I don't feel it was so bad I needed to go to rehab (though may have not been far from it), it's bad enough that I recognize I need professional help (i.e. therapy/meetings). And I've begun that process.

Anyways, I'm keeping this post brief and just wanted to get this out there. I'll likely write more about it later.
