I need to be strong

[Peatrie]

:new: Hi everyone this my first day here.
Years of Heavy drinking for No apparent reason has brought me here.It has now become very degrading and embarrasing and I know that I am losing the the respect from my wife and sons who mean the world to me. This may be a tough road to take but it will be worth the journey to get my self respect back, any words of help will be very much appreciated though.
Two days of Heavy drinking have left me at a very low ebb today (struggling).

Hello Peatrie and :welcome:

you are in good company. many of us here have worn your shoes.

read as much as you can on this site and down load or order the book. it is a bit confusing at first but will soon become clear. ask whatever you like of the good people here - many hands will extend to help you on the road to recovery.

good luck, Kate

Welcome aboard. You'll get loads of encouragement around here, believe me. The very fact that you realize that you have a problem and you are hurting and hurting your loved ones is one step forward.

Have you been able to get hold of Roberta's book yet? Not a difficult reader, but very helpful.

Welcome again

Welcome Peatrie! Get through today and you will feel better tomorrow. I think we all know those days of self-loathing. Like Kate said, read the book, try the program. It really works if you are ready to make a change. My best to you!!!:welcome:

Thank you : I know and appreciate how hard this whole thing is, which is why talking is so important. You know if you were to meet me you would see a different Guy to the one I see when I look in the mirror.Other people my family those clsest to me now begin to see that person and I know that somewhere deep inside I am a lot Stronger than that and so are you.It takes courage so be strong, I am stronger today so lean on me.
Take Care there are people who care.
