    Goals

    Starting to feel comfortable on the board enough to get this off my chest. I have on several occasions got in the car with my boys and driven drunk and have left my 6 and 4 year old alone in house while I have gone to the store- 2 minutes away to get another drink. Never can forgive myself for either one of these.

    Goal # 1- NEver again will either one of these happen.:upset:

      let it go! but don't forget!

      Paw-

      I admire you for writting down something that is so obviously painful to admit. I guess that is one of the steps of getting better. Be proud that you have said it, out loud, to others. No one judges you. I have done some things to my kids that I am not proud of.
      perhaps because of your thread I will be able to get them out by the endof this day.

      thankyou

        Healthypaw,
        You're not the only one. I've done that too(not a lot, but once is too much). I also have a 4 and a 6 year old. Thats when it hit home to me. All it would take is to get pulled over and my family life would be turned upside down, not to mention if I got into an accident. Forgive yourself, don't do it again, and focus on the future. I've only been AF for 3 weeks, but I'm already becoming more of the mom I want to be. You're on the right path.
        If you're still drinking, I always bought enough so I wouldn't have to leave the house. Get a plan together and keep posting.

          Well done for getting that off your chest. I'm so proud of you for doing so. I'm also very happy that you're here and changing you life for the better for you and your children. If you ever feel like drinking, read this post and see what the beast made you do, that'll stop you.
          Keep going hun, Stay strong *BIG HUG*

            Not so sure about the advice MM gave you to make sure you stock up on plenty of alcohol... but, otherwise, I agree with what everyone said. Where are you, in your thinking, about stopping the drinking, and in setting up a plan to succeed in your goals?

              I think MM was saying that if I wanted to drink or was still drinking to make sure I had enough to drink which is better than leaving. I am AF day 3 and have several other goals. The big one is I will never have a drink of alcohol in my house if I am alone. I have started to workout (70lbs gained in 4 years) and have began a lifetime changing diet plan. I want to get through the 30 AF and decide what to do from there.

                Thanks for understanding what I was "trying" to stay. I just said it cause that's what I had to do before I started getting AF time. Congrats on day 3. Im in the same boat with the weight gain, but I'm still "planning" to lose weight. Hope to see more post from ya.

                  No problem. Glad to see you are cheerful. Maybe another couple of days and I can change my mood.
