Good luck M22! We're all behind you!!! It's also ok to cry. Strong people cry.

You're doing great!

If you really want to know that you are normal and we all have the same experiences, check out the "You know you're an alcoholic when" thread on the general discussion board. You will be rolling on the floor laughing/crying because it would sound so absurd to a non-drinker but to us, it was daily life!

Great thread. It's nice to know we weren't alone in our insanity. I especially liked the Netflix comment... I use to get so much mileage out of the same show over and over because I couldn't remember watching it! Ugh.

Thank goodness for PVRs....I also had to rewatch my favorite shows because I couldn't remember what happened. Oh my, I had forgotten about the "you already told me that" incidents but now I'm getting so old, that even sober I forget who I've told what to....LOL!.....so I still get it...hahah!

"Mom, you already asked me that and I TOLD you!"

Breezy.....I just read an older post from a few weeks ago when you wrote about the morning after and talking to your kids: "Then try and act like I know what's all happening the next day after I tell them a story and they say " mom, you told us already!" or "mom, you already asked me that, I told you"". Yuck. I HATE that feeling.

OMG I just SO totally relate to that -- my 15 and 17 year olds have said both of those phrases to me the morning after about 1000 times, with me pretending I actually remember having told them the first time or heard them. I didn't realize what a great actress I've become. I Just finished a class, and my habit is to go home and drink a ton of gin until I fall asleep in front of the t.v. Everyone else will be in bed anyway, so I was afraid to go home. I decided to stop in my office before leaving and check this board one more time and your post was EXACTLY what I needed to read, and also Mootsbill, Phin, and everyone else who relates. I think I can leave now! Thank you, thank you. Thanks to all of you. Day 4 tomorrow now, I'm sure of it. :h

I love this thread, I am sitting here wondering which story to tell - I have done most of what has been written! I have a 12 and a 14 year old and am a singe mum (there is an absentee dad).
I have got up in the morning to check and see how much I drank and what all I did when in that state.
I have got up to check my kids are still alive - I would dream that one would have an asthma attack and I would not hear her. I would panic about how to get them to the hospital if needed i because I would be too drunk to drive. I would wake up laying on their beds after falling asleep when putting them to bed for the night. I would not do parties, go to movies, take them shopping on the weekends etc as it would cut into my drinking time - I am so glad to be battling this so I can be the mother they deserve!!!
