There's only the here and now, LUV. Keep looking for a rehab until you find one. While I know it must be gut wrenching to be away from your children, you've got to take care of you. YOU have to come first. I'm glad you're on the boards this morning....was so so worried about you last night.

LUV, I really have no words for you that would help. Surround yourself with the knowledge of the love of the folks here, it is all around, above and below you, every minute of every day.

I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through right now. But just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. Remain strong.

Take care.

Hey LUV sorry thinks ain't been working out for you hun. It seems you have FINALLY hit rock-bottom (NO SHIT SHERLOCK!! Give that man an award!!). I know you may not want to hear this but YOU have to take action and put yourself and your own needs first right now. SELFISH?? So fucking what! you are never going to recover if you don't. We as alcoholics (I use the term loosely) have centered our lives and our families around our drinking and no matter how much we love them drink will always be our number one priority. I'm not saying you don't love your kids LUV as I know like me you would probably die for them but spending some time in rehab and away from them is only going to make you a better person and and even greater mum to them in the future. It's very easy to look at the negative side of things and feelings like "I have lost EVERYTHING" and catastrophising things are only going to make you feel even worse I guess. Don't be to quick to make judgments on yourself (easier said than done I know!!). You have realised nothing else is working for you and rehab maybe your best option so you are being positive in realising this. Just remember rehab is only going to work if you put in the work yourself while you are there. There is still no quick fix in rehab. There are a lot of treatment centers who tend to think otherwise so make sure you find one that is not just going to detox you then 12 step you out the door after a few weeks telling you you are cured of your illness.

Luv I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm being a bit tough but lets be honest here nothing else is working and it is time to start fighting and living again; the time for mollycoddling is over. You know I only have your best interests at heart here, as does everyone else who knows you on here, and I only want to see you get better for you and your kids sake. I've wasted the best part of 10 years through drinking and I was disgusted at myself for being a drunk around my daughter and missing out on things with her. I was that drunk once that I actually sat on her while she was sleeping on the couch as a baby and although I had so much regret and guilt over it it still didn't stop me drinking for a further 2 and a half years till I finally hit the bottom. You would of thought that incident would of been enough for me to see the error of my ways and stop drinking there and then; I did for a few weeks then I was back at square one drinking again. The hold drink had over me was so powerful that I thought I would never be able to give it up completely but I have done it through being hard on myself more than anything. There are days I think "why do I need to keep fighting this?" Evey day is another battle and I can't be arsed at times but I only have to remember the last great time I spent with my daughter and seeing her smiling laughing face makes me see things that much clearer. I have 2 options at the moment. I can return to my drinking and probably only see my daughter through supervised visits (If I'm lucky!!) or I can NOT drink and spend what little time I do have with her making her life wonderful and fun. That's why I keep fighting and hopefully one day soon it will become less of a fight.

My Love and all the happiness in the world to you :l

Hippie,
You are RIGHT. Only I can stop this. God it is hard though. I am so scared and frightened.

I am so sorry to see that you are going through such a very bad time in your life. I have only been here 24 days and hardly know you but I must admit I admire your strength and resolve. Even though you are going through such a tough struggle of you own with AL you have always reached out to others here and offer words of encouragement. Luv it's our turn to offer our words of hope but the rest is up to you.

Your kids are safe and being taken care of, they need their mom back but a mom that is whole and well again. I know you know what needs to get done so see that you get that help and support in your daily life that will make you stronger and able to keep AL out of your life for good.

It is time to let go of AL, time to flush it out of your life for good. You will get better, you will get through those hard days - don't be afraid be strong!

hie luv, as you asked at the end what else... the next chance you loose is the chance to be with them again in life and get them back as happie said rehab is not all you want rehab can only work if you are ready to work it, so every chance depends on your dedication now . i know you want the best for you children but to do that sort yourself first the rest will work.
best of love and you can do this

Lenair..I forgot about thta option. It takes FOREVER to get an appointment doesn't it? I can afford it, but how do I find them?????? Bootsie...I will PM her. Maybe she can get me in quicker since she has referred many.

Love to you LUV! Go to The Lenair Healing Center. An alternative treatment for alcoholism developed by a specialist in treating alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse. Go to the testimonials and "listen" to the audio testimonials. Please listen to every one of them. It is under "See -hear our clients". I am going the middle of next month. Took me about 3 mos. to get in. I am driving there. Call, talk to Barry. They have cancellations, if you can be ready to pick up and go with less notice.

I feel your pain. My kids are grown, but I feel that every day that I continue this, I am loosing them in an entirely different way, and now I have one with an out of state DUI - pending.

Let me know what you think! Visualize my arms around you in support.

Love - Best
