    Hi Carol
    It is awful feeling like 'this'.. I know exactly what you mean.
    Great that you are 2 days sober. Maybe while your daughter is away you can relax and do all the things you want to do but never have the time?.
    Spend time on this site and you won't look back!!
    Take Care Carol and I look forward to hearing more about you

      Hi Carol and welcome..and enjoy the meeting.
      You'll feel better once you've got a plan in place. Something you can work towards.
      Good luck on your journey.

        Hi Carol and welcome. I know how scary this feels in the beginning. There is a whole new and better life waiting for you in sobriety! Just take it one minute at a time staying alcohol free while your daughter is away. Good that you called your friend from AA. Between My Way Out and AA, you don't have to be alone with this.

        Strength and hope,

        DG

          Welcome Carol, we've all been where you are now. It will take time and effort but you can be alcohol free, and it is a sweet freedom.

          Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

          If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                Hi Carol. two days is brilliant! This is my first serious attempt at stopping - so far I've made it to day 5, which is a big deal for me. I'm finding it hard, and am not being the greatest mum in the world. Take this time out to recover - try not to fill the hole she's left with booze ( at least that's what I've done when my kids have been away - what a waste of my precious Free time!) Keep moving forward x
