Hello Everyone,
I found this website today and am so thankful to have a place to go for support.
My story is similar to others I?ve read so far. Been working full-time in sales for over 25yrs, raised two great teen-agers, take care of my disabled mother, and drink on a daily basis. Over the past year, I have been going through an emotionally, long, drawn-out divorce after 20 years of marriage to an un-employed drug addicted man and father of my kids.
Well, 3 wks ago, I expedited the divorce process by getting drunk on vodka, blacking out, and getting so angry with him over $$ issues, that I started throwing tools from his garage at him to get him to leave the house. The neighbors called the cops and off to jail I went.
That incredibly sobering day in jail convinced me to move out with my kids and mother the day I was released and I stopped drinking. But less than a week later, I started ?easing back? into drinking with beer and wine and am already back to a daily craving.
I need to get my drinking under control fast before something much worse happens, but I realize that I can?t do this alone and AA meetings depress me more than drinking does.
I have downloaded Roberta?s book and can?t wait to start reading it tonight. I pray that this, plus the support of others in my situation, will help me to gain some control.
Thanks for listening/reading.
