Have talked to everyone about it , husbos mum,my mum,my family and they all agree and support me in my givng up the cans and focusing on the kids. Husbos promised to remind me why im doing it all if I ask him to go to the offie and swore he wont but me any. So im feeling optimistic...
Just read back over the threads. So sorry about the problems with your son Limey. Teenagers are so difficult to deal with. Good that you've talked to your family and that you will face all of this together. Support is so important. As far as the kids go, it's really hard to know how tough to be on them. If you're too lenient, they get away with murder and if you're too tough they want to murder you. Just be as close to him as you can and try to get him to talk. Or if he won't talk to you maybe you have a friend or family member that he would open up to. Have you checked about drugs? Is there any chance he could be using something. Kids at that age get pressured a lot by their peers and will often do things just to be in with the crowd.
Glad your husband has agreed not to buy you any more AL. You will no doubt find more courage in dealing with the kids if you've got the AL problem under control.
Best of luck with both.

I have a charming lil bag of green dream rigged up but couldn't stand to give the ole dog her stuff first,then been looking at the exhaust pipe all day & thinking about a nice spot with a view.Selfish yes but really i'm over worrying about what other people think.
Anyway, I didn't know what she was referring to with the "green dream". BTW she's a vet so would have easy access to it.
I'm going out for a bit. Back soon.For every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.

oh site. I didn't get the post at all either. It makes a lot more sense now. That's really worrying.
I just didn't know what to say so held my piece.AF since 15th March 2010
The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

Oh, kids!Reading through the post I got really uneasy with Beagles message. Please, keep up the contacts! I'm not here much, prepping for having all my grands this week.
Limes, it hard for me to give you advice. I'm from a dif era, dif culture. I'm VERY old school when it comes to my babies, and, as my son (39) says, I wasn't tough enough. But they respect and try to please me. Our Tay just fixed her 'Cruella De Ville' hair, came straight to me to show it. I've praised and rewarded her constantly for it, and she's a happier, more thoughtful child now. They ARE children, and they need guideposts along the way. As adults, they have only their past to guide them, and I PRAY I give mine what they need to be happy in their lives.
'Nuff preaching from me. As I said, we all live different lives in different places. I'm pretty much 'The Waltons'. No brag, just fact. But you all have to deal with your OWN lives, where you are, and it's SO much better to do it soberly. I wouldn't be anticipating my grands if I was the sop I used to be. Love to you all.sigpic

No, Limes, it wasn't. But that's close to my life, with drinking uncles!!
Like I said, I can't give advice outside my little world. And you are a GREAT mom!sigpic

And, as I say, and have learned in my dottage!, I cannot impose my lifestyle on those who live differently. I just was NEVER taught AL was a danger. And now I preach it to my loves every day. (Yes! They're sick of it! :H)sigpic
