okay here I go

[tbpeterson5]

So Im new to this website, I think I posted my other thread in the wrong place. I wanted to come some place to see if I could find others that relate to me, and I think I have. I drink way to much. I use to be able to drink and everything be okay, and a year later it has gotten much worse. I keep saying that I am gonna stop but after a week of not drinking, I use the excuse that something made me mad and I just need one drink, and then another and another. I want to stop I really do. It has taken over my life and its tearing me and my husband apart. I end up thinking that I can just hide it from my husband and he will not notice, but he does everytime. I just want to stop doing this to my family. :new:

:welcome: Welcome, tbp5! Keep reading, keep posting. We've all been there. I am now sober 7 months, after 36 years drinking, so it can be done. I used to hide my drinking from my partner, and believe me, you don't even want to go there! What a waste of time and energy! Feel free to ask anything - no one judges you, and we have heard (or done) it ourselves. Good luck on your journey - you will never regret it! :h

:welcome:Hi Tbp5,
If you can scrape the courage together it will be the best if you are honest with your husband. Your kids must be very young - please stop before too much damage is done. I really hurt my kids and will carry the guilt untill I die. It's not easy to live with that. If you come clean with the hb it will be easier to seek professional help and get medicines.
All the best - it can be done. There are many success stories here.
