Redlunds Story

I am here for you RED... I was in a long marriage (27 yrs.) and divorce was what sent me back to the bottle so i understand where you are coming from...I REALLY DO !!! I have a son and daughter...so I understand about that too. Divorce is difficult no matter what the circumstances are.
I have been following you since you started here and I read real strength in your posts. I know you have what it takes to get thru this all and come out the other side as a happy, healthy, sober woman.
take it from me...there really is A life filled with joy waiting on the other side of divorce alcoholism.

Red, I know this is a difficult time for you. There are a few of us here dealing with divorce and some who are not at the moment but may as well be. It is good for you to get AL out of your life now so you can have a clear head through this. It will only be better on the other side. Really. :l

Red, I have never been through divorce, so I can only imagine your pain and fear. If there is anything I can do to help, I will.
Hugs for you :l:l

Hi Red. Very brave of you to post your story. All i know for absolute certain, is that difficult times are a LOT easier to deal with, and get through, without the grog. Easy to say, i know, but life on the other side of this is brilliant. I shall play my guitar for you today............G.

Thank you for sharing your story Reddy.
Just like Evie, I had a long marriage and went back to AL after ten years AF when my marriage was ending. This is a decision that I regret as I have struggled since. You are not alone.:l

Red, while the circumstances of our lives may be different, I'm sure everyone on this site understands your relationship with alcohol, the strong desire to want to quit once and for all but always finding yourself back at the bottle. Alcoholism has chipped away at my life significantly and has consumed me. I've even been on my way to the drug store for Mylanta because I was so sick and hungover, swearing never to drink again, but drove myself to a liquor store instead. I know the closing times of all the liquor stores in the area, and go to each one as a part of a "rotation" so it doesn't look like i'm too frequent a customer at any one of them. I have empty bottles hidden, and as I was discussing with another member tonight, for the past several years every night I've gone through half of a 1.75 bottle of vodka....Tonight is my first night of sobriety and I'm shaking and sweating. I know what you're going through...Instead of one day at a time, I'm doing one hour at a time....stay strong but if you DO have a drink, don't beat yourself up about it...try to keep it at one drink maybe and call it a triumph! Self-hatred is to me the worst part of this. My love and support goes out to you!

Dearest Red,
You've come a long way from that first day when you 'fell' into the middle of an ongoing issue on a thread!! I'm proud of you, my friend, because I know these last months have been hell for you. The story you wrote is 'In the beginning'. You're beautiful and talented, and a great mother, and deserve some real happiness. I'm so glad you know now it's not in a bottle. Talk to you soon. Keep your head up!
