And I know I belong here.
I'll post my story later, but I am here to say hi, and a simple introduction.
I am 30 years old, a mom of a 3 year old boy and 2 year old girl.
A lot of what I've briefly seen is so familiar, and I've felt so alone... and I think I realize, I'm not.
So I may be staying for awhile. I'll post more later.
To add a bit more:
I was in inpatient for seven weeks last year, for drinking white wine by the box (up to about three liters a day, I'd say), and was hospitialized for that plus an eating disorder. I was sober for several months, and my weight is normal now. Liver is again healthy, however, I've been sneaking again. Not wine, but Mike's Lemonade, and wine coolers, etc. I'm sober today, but just a weekend ago I "went grocery shopping" on a Sunday and drove to Massachusetts to get what I "needed." I can't go down this road again.
My husband was just starting to "let" me drink again socially, when he found some empty bottles. I was so mad at myself for getting caught, because I felt like for awhile there I could have my cake and eat it too. Well, that backfired, and unless I want a divorce and to lose my children, and my job (I work as a paralegal 2 1/2 days a week), I need to get back on the ball.
I'll add more later. I can't live like this... I use alcohol mostly to control anxiety, but of course to have a better time, be more social, etc.
