[Justme13]

It's hard to admit that I have made mistakes. It started out in moderation, then turned bad at a young age, I figured that as long as I was only drinking it was better than other things out there I could be doing. I am coming to the realization that is just not true.

I am tired of running from my emotional issues behind a bottle of whiskey. I want to be a responsible new parent and I want to be a good wife again. I am so sick to my stomach when I get to the bottom of the bottle and start a fight with anyone that will listen. I say things I don't mean or even remember saying, in person, on the phone, in e-mails. It's not fair to my loving husband, who is always here for me no matter what I do.

I too am looking for a way out. A good nights sleep, and peace of mind that I am being the best person I know how to be. I am so sad that it has come to this, that I have started to taint a wonderful relationship, and I am looking for that life back. I know it's not too late to start fixing myself so that I can fix my errors at home.

Today is going to be the day I clean out the cabinets, put the bottle down and apologize to my husband for all of my mistakes. Today is the first day of a promise that I am making to myself, and my family before it's too late and I loose everything I hold dear.

It just looks like I am going to need support from every which way, but today is the day I am ready to make amends and start living life the way it is meant to be lived.

Thanks.....:new:

Welcome Just me,

Alcohol will take everything we hold dear to us, if we don't stop the madness. Go for it! You can do it.
Check out the 'Toolbox' thread here in the 'monthly abstinence section'. Lot's of great info/tip's/education/inspiration. Keep reading.

Best wishes, G.
