Hi Mum to 2
That is a genuinely tough situation, your husband travelling regularly and having 2 young children at home. Mine are 8 and 6 so a little older. When my husband was at work 3 or 4 nights a week was actually my favourite time to drink. I realised though that I had to change my thinking if I was to succeed. I had to stop thinking this is so hard for me because I'm on my own with 2 children. Yes it is hard but it doesn't mean that I have to drink. I realise now, that it was just another excuse to abuse alcohol. Since stopping I appreciate my children even more and have more energy for them. The alcohol didin't make it better. It just made it worse. I don't know if that will help you and is just my experience of it.
Please let me know how you are going. Am so glad you are here as I really relate to what you are going through and I hope we can help each other.
Hugs for your little ones and you.
