How would waking up with a hangover after a drunken binge make this situation better? Drinking at the problem isn't going to solve it. Drinking is the problem. I hear your frustration and pain. Drinking will only make it worse and interfere with your ability to be fully present for those who need you.

Cravings, mind talk, crying...I literally have to jump and go outside, or run and eat a donut...or two. I'm very restless. I can't go to sleep at night, and when I do it's for no more than a few hours. I feel like I may jump out of my skin.
My stepson is coming home tonight from his mothers house, after having been there for a week. My stress level is steady going up. It is an understatement to say that there is always drama where he or his mother are involved. He manipulates and lies as though he can't help himself. It's as though he would rather tell 10 lies about minor things, and stack them on each other, when telling the truth would be easier and likely not end in punishment. I just don't understand it. His grades have gone in the toilet since staring to spend more time with her, he has been suspended from football because of grades, and has missed two days of work and been late while at her house. He is the youngest of my husbands three boys.
The older two were just recently (July) released from jail for armed robbery, committed by the two of them together...at a pharmacy.....for drugs.....to sell. And that was just the cherry on the top of the trouble that they have been in. It is very hard for me to understand how this happened. Knowing my husband, how he loves them, and that they were taught right from wrong.
Oh god, I am rambling. I think I was trying to give a little insight to my life- BLAAHHHH! This has been pretty much full throttle for 4 years now, only now I can't drink to avoid it / cope, however you want to phrase it.
Ok.....breathe
