Hello Iratherstayprivate, welcome to Psych Central.
What would happen if you told the truth? Are you worried people would somehow think less of you for it. I think a lot of this could be due to your addiction to alcohol, it is good you can recognise that. You might like to check out our
Addictions forum, you'll find lots of support and understanding there.
