Thanks for taking the time to let 'us' into your world brave. Like most alcoholics I think we have to reach a point where we are not only physically and mentally broken but spiritually as well.
Like Mario says you will find love again if you learn to love yourself first and foremost. We cannot depend on anyone or anything to fix us, only we can do that. Be gentle on yourself and you'll start to find some peace within.
Love and Light
Phil

Brave opens her heart !
:lHi BH, it is truly sad to hear what so many of us had to endure during our childhoods. Yesterday I was reflecting on what a mess I was at age 18 - an total emotional mess. That's when I started drinking for the "pain" and rejection. To add to my emotional mess I was bulimic since about age 12 - and carried all that disgust and self loathing with me as well.
I hurt my 3 children badly through my alcohol abuse - I don't know how old your boys are, but you can stop, and time will heal the wounds.
PM me anytime you want, and I'm praying for you right now.:lmake the least of the worst, and the most of the best - everyday.Comment

"I hope one day I will meet somebody new and that I will get the chance to have a relationship with somebody without the worry of them finding out what I am really like."
Brave, that's a telling statement, after all you've been through. What I want for you is that one day, when you are the REAL you, a lovely, sober person who knows she cannot drink, who has overcome a terrible hurtful past, you may find someone you can share everything with, and who accepts all. Your past formed you, but does not have to rule you. Love to you, hon.sigpic

Hey Brave, we talked in chat the other night, I'm so proud of you, you have really, really had it tough! I'm so proud of you for taking charge. I'm doing the samething right now too, and I've had my own share of false starts, I guess its part of the process. You will find someone when you are able to love yourself first and foremost, and you should, you are truly a survivor! You will find someone that will become an additon to your own already happy life. Your boys are very proud I'm sure, and they are enjoying their sober Mom I'm sure....spend some quality time with those men in your life! You are very lucky you made it thru the abyss, stay strong, and stay here with us, we need your support too!"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"Comment

That is an amazing story, BH.. you have a lot of inner strength.. I admire you for sharing your story with us - some of your story reminded me of my own - I was also rejected by my mother (though not straight away, later on when she remarried and decided me and my sister were "in the way" of her new relationship) - but that led to my low self-esteem, and later on, I believe, contributed to my drinking problems.. your drinking pattern sounds similar to mine too - I also have driven lots of people away by being abusive when drunk, or inappopriate.. or often, i would reject people by e-mail and be nasty or rude - I would "get in there" first, before they could reject me - so I truly understand where you are coming from.. thank you again for sharing your story.. I will eventually hopefully have the courage to share mine too.. i wish you all the best and success in your journey xxx"It works if you work it, because you are worth it!!!"
