Hi Mum,
I finally got sick and tired of my drunken behavior. I had a couple of heart-wrenching scenes with my daughter also (she was 12-13 at the time). I came home one night from a drunk walk with the dogs. I hadn't taken my cell phone with me. I decided to stop at my neighbors house for a visit (because who doesn't love a drunk neighbor stopping by at 10pm at night?). Anyway, my poor kid was beside herself with worry. When I finally stumbled home, she was crying hysterically, putting on her shoes getting ready to look for me. Now this is a 12 year old, on a school night, getting ready to search for her drunk mother...how pathetic is that? That was one incident of a few that really made me start realizing that my actions were having a huge negative impact on her. My signature sums it up, I had to decide that I love my daughter more than I love alcohol. I do, and I'll never put it ahead of her again. You can do it too.
