ok i'm here so its a start

Hi ljd,
I read your post and I thought it was me I was reading about, well what used to be me..
I also have 3 lovely young boys and a husband that used to work very long hours and our marriage very nearly broke down, he did'nt want to know me at all, and it started to affect my kids as well, but I am now 27 days A/F and my kids are happy and now my husband talks to me, our marriage is now working. Once my husband saw that I was making an effert in our marriage then he started to do the same.
Try and do something else rather than pick up that bottle, why dont you have tea with your kids, the best thing that I found was to keep very very busy, have you tried L-Glut in the powder form, its great for cravings.
If you need to talk then you can always PM me and I will try and help
You will find lots of support on here and I look forward to getting to know you
Take Care

Hi and welcome ldj,

I can relate with so much about your post. I am a mom (4.5 and 18 months) with a husband that works long hours and I've relied on alcohol to the point that I really started to get scared about my drinking and the life that I was creating for my family as a result. I got in to the steady habbit of pouring a glass of wine while I was making dinner at 5pm and by 8pm I'd be pretty well juiced up. What kind of mother is that?! Then I would have major insomnia and have to suffer though a sleep and wine hangover the next day. Plus, countless embarassing evenings at parties and events that I wish I could take back! I have been aware for a long time that alcohol is ruining my life and I am glad I read MWO and have found this online support. I've also take many of the supplements and think they are helping to control the cravings. I wish you luck and am glad you are here. It is time for a change... :welcome:
