"Yet, at first, reaching out for help may actually seem more dangerous than continuing to struggle alone. Before coming to Al Anon, the sure way to survive, wants to handle everything by ourselves, to keep quiet about our problems, and to trust no one so that no one could disappoint us. Without the support of people who understood the disease of alcoholism, we learned to tough it out alone. We became experts at keeping secrets and creating the appearance of normalcy in the midst of crisis. We avoided people because it was easier to be alone than to pretend all the time. We hid our shame, our fear, our rage." -How Al Anon Works
