    Hi Bimble.... First I want to say - be good to yourself today...Drink lots of water... Take a hot shower, deep condition your hair and face and moisturize with some sweet smelling lotion... LOVE yourself today - stop hating... You sound like a wonderful person who loves her daughter...

    Today if you are tempted to visit your ENEMY (no friendship there) with cider, drink a large glass of lemon water and eat a big healthy meal. It helps with the cravings... Give yourself the gift of a good day today - then keep coming back here for love and support. You can stop this vicious cycle...

      Hi Bim -just hold on, others will soon jump in and offer even more help.

      You describe the alcohol hell syndrome that many of here have faced and overcome. The great news about your situation is that it only gets better from here if your tired of living the old. But really, to get sober and experience a new life is just dang awesome.

      Your daughter loves you know matter what -but she probably realizes just how great life is going to be when you are not drinking.

      Wow, congratulations on your wanting to quit!!!!

            If you can't do it for yourself right now, do it for your daughter - I have a 13 and 15year old and started for them - now I am winning, I realise I am doing it for me.....but start for her....
            You can do this, you sound as if you are ready to get serious - focus on not drinking for the present time, then other things will turn around

                  If you hate yourself, look into your daughter's eyes... That's the point...:l

                    It is not easy - so not easy - but it is doable, and you have to believe that.
                    Go to the Newbies nest - so much support there from so many people in similar spots.
                    Read the tool box and take what you need.

                          Bim - I am single mum too - not easy, but I dreaded waking to a real emergency and not being there for them - I can now pick up any hour of day or night, and that feels great.
                          Get rid of the cans - pour them all out, then you can't drink them - you will have to white knuckle - I know if there is drink in the house, I will drink - I had to completely get rid of everything..
