My life

[Mom2three]

I am a mom of three. Ans apartially adopted son. I have a life most would envy. No money worries! Just general anxiety from some hard times that have happened in life. I have made some bad decisions while drinking. I rarely drink. Don 't crave it on a day to day, week to week frame? But when I do, I really do. Mostly to try to get drunk....feel a compulsion almost, always rgretful of my decision. I am surprised I have not berm
N arrested. I need guidance and help. I
'm 41 ..feel blessed. Not on to Topamax yet...ordered supplements and cd. Reading Now, by Echart Tolle and Stop saying you're fine - Mel Robbins. I would like to manage my drinking. Socially I have been to scared to go out. I feel that I have put my husband in so many bad positions and I am mortified. Like insaid, I go weeks and never think of drinking. I run, do charity work, but something has to change. I want to be more MINDFUL in general. Any thoughts? Thanks :new:

It must be fate I get on here right when you post. You could be me. I'm also a Mom of 3 and have it pretty easy. I also exercise regularly and don't drink every day. But when I do it's a complete disaster. Welcome to this amazing place! I'm still struggling but I will conquer this and so will you! :welcome:

Hey M23 ? :welcome:I am 35, mom of 1 boy (plus several pets) ? I am blessed with a lovely life too ? that up until recently I was not enjoying to the fullest because I was in an AL cloud each evening.

Whether you drink occasionally or every day (like I used to ) - if you don?t like what you become or what you do when you drink then it?s time to address it. This is a wonderful place.

I recommend the Newbies nest + read the tool box.

And don?t be shy of spilling your guts here ? all the terrible things you did or said while drunk - that you did not dare tell any of your friends and family ? chances are someone here did them too. So no judgment, just advice on how to get over it and stay sober.
