i have to start by saying that i am not really a newbie ,i have been on here before years ago just checked when i was last on and it was 2008 so it feels like i am a newbie .so here i am again still battling the demon drink , i thought i had a handle on things but over the last year or so things are getting bad again ,last year was horrendous my 9 year old nephew had to get a life threatening operation the day he got out of hospital my son found my dad dead and a bit later on in the year my mum took ill also and i just didn't know how to handle things so i turned once again to the dreaded drink so not a good idea ,,,i also had a fight with my son in which he was charged and i split from my boyfriend of 18 months all cos of my drinking ,thankfully i have seen the error of my ways and am seeking help once again and i have now went 13 days without anything i am also so grateful that my ex is still talking to me which helps ,i do feel for him as i think he feels helpless as he doesn't know how to help me but he is helping more than he knows

hope to hear from some of you soon ,,keep well and healthy

Hi Maryt
Welcome back, I don't remember you from the last time, I'm not around long enough but it's good you came back.
Your family problems sound awful and I so understand turning to alcohol, I did exactly the same thing, many family rows, really nasty and finally when my Mum got really ill and died the year before last I completely fell into a bottle. I felt it was the only comfort I had in an appalling situation and in a perverse way it was, even now looking back I still couldn't have got through that time unaided, just booze was the wrong aid!!
What I'm trying to say is if you need help, go to your doc and discuss aid or/and come here and talk, except for a small amount of med aid when I started AF this place carries me singlehandedly now
Good luck and keep posting
Molly:welcome:
