Wow, you been through a lot. This is very impressive that you overcame such hardships and grown so much spiritually.
Publicly stating "I am alcoholic" has a lot to do with breaking through ego barriers, dropping the protective shell and coming down all opened and vulnerable. That *is*
letting go process for many. The negative flavor of this statement yields to much more powerful and higher purpose for the person making this statement publicly.
I not sure hard and fast universal rules for self help exists but i think i slowly getting grip on processes that helped many people from many disciplines. In fact I practicing them myself daily.

Up until recently I believed that Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was incurable. All the studies state this as fact. Then one day, as I was sitting in front of my Buddhist altar chanting, I suddenly informed the universe that I will no longer suffer from this disorder that a cure had to be found. In that moment it became inconceivable that I should have to go through my entire life with such suffering.

It is very interesting as Cindy Teevens went something similar. She was in great suffering and deep depression - and then one day she managed to consciously "flip" her feelings to opposite - to joy. She never got back to "old" suffering. I opened a
special "Awakening Joy" section on this forum dedicated to her technique that she is so willingly sharing.
My most important discovery from the recent years was that we can control our feelings consciously. In other words neither past circumstances nor present situation should force us to feel in certain negative way.
Cindy's Awakening Joy technique is a proof of that.
Lester Levensons' complete healing and full spiritual realization (I will write about him more) is a proof of that.
