Just want to say hi and hope you can find the support you need here. I have found this site full of very warm and encouraging people. Not going to say much more cos I don't feel I have the answers...still struggling myself but find many helpful ideas to keep me battling on.
Take care

You certainly are not "a waste of space" but I can relate to those words as I have felt them myself many times. I often think that when I fail yet once again. I came here and started this program, followed MWO to the letter, took the supp's, got the prescriptions and did well for several weeks then one day I found myself drunk again... that's when I begin to have those feelings, but just biting the bullet and coming back here after staying away for several weeks has made me feel somewhat stronger. So many can relate and there is so much honesty here rather than judgement. I think we all need that.

I can't tell you how many times I have wondered where my son was and panicked because I was drunk when I told him he could spend the night with a friend and didn't remember when I woke up in the morning and he was gone! PANIC! This is the sort of thing we beat ourselves to a pulp over and deem ourselves unworthy or "waste of space", still we linger on and days get better... then sometimes they get worse. Seems to be a cycle, but I know we must never give up!

Love and light,

Frogz~

Hello all,

We're all in the same boat - minds that drink and bodies that comply. We plan our booze, fret if there's not enough, start with a little and then bam - don't remember a thing. Then the guilt, regret, depression all while our eyes are throbbing and our middles become mushy. Well, that was then and this is today. We've all committed to finding help and I can't tell you how much your responses on this and many other posts lift me each day. My subliminal cd just finished, and it's past my bedtime, but I look forward to reading your wonderful words of encouragement, advice and support tomorrow. And you're right - God does not make junk and he sure gave us the tools to do something about our predicament. Looking forward to a wonderful day tomorrow. See ya'll then.

V.

Don't Give Up

Your babies NEED YOU. You have to keep trying, you will do this. Can you come really really clean with your husband? Show him this site? Let him be your advocate, not your police officer? Tell him you know what you need to do, but you've got to figure out how to do it. That's what I did, day 1. This evening at Crazy Hour (dinner time) was hard, I got on live chat while I tried to cook, but the rest of the day, including now, was better. I am gaining confidence. If you keep your hub out, you could grow apart during your healing. You need to heal, come off the AL, and you need his help. Tonight? As soon as my hub got home, I went upstairs, shut the door, and climbed in the tub for a good while. And you know what? The thing I found was that by sinking my head just up to my nose in water allowed the water to drown everything out. Kind of like my wine. It was amazing. I stayed until I was pruney while my hub got the rest of the evening finished, and now I'm much more peaceful. You have to do it for you, but also for your girls. But you, first. Or it won't last. I think. I'm new at this. Please PM as needed. I'll walk with you. It looks like everyone here will. It's AMAZING. I'm a real cynic, and I'm blown away. KEEP COMING BACK. DON'T LEAVE. DO ALL YOUR BASICS with your babies, and house, and stay online. People here seem to always be available to encourage. Incredible. Keep getting up each day and trying.

Dear Seto
I too have been were you are, self hate is the norm around hear by the sounds of it, i dont know about you but i find it hard to live with the thought that my kids will only have these memories to look back on,that is one driving force for me to give them better ones, i also change into another person, and usually dont remember much, and my tolerance is getting less and less, i blew it two days ago after 5 off i had such a bad hangover i could not go to work for 2 days. Now i have to go in and face every one and contiue with the lie that i was really sick(well i was) so here we go starting again. i wish you luck
