I was completely closed minded

Going into the groups I was completely closed minded. I was only going because I had to. In my mind I didn’t want to share I didn’t want anybody to know anything about me. The groups to turned out to be very nice and therapeutic. I learned a lot. It made me realize that I had a problem with alcohol. It also made me realize that I don’t have to be ashamed of what happened because everybody makes mistakes. Group has also helped me to become more open and feel better about communication. If I can open up and talk to a bunch of strangers then I can talk to people I know. I still may not care to talk to them but because of group I feel better about doing so.
