      Aww Bimble,hun.:l
      Thank you so much for sharing your story.
      I resigned from my job. We'll say resigned as I'm sure if I'd carried on the way I was I'd have been sacked. That's when my drinking became my new 'career'. I also used to leave wee notes for the kids. I mean just how many upset stomachs or migraines can one woman have. Yep the personal hygiene, the piles of ironing oh love I can relate to it all. However the madness can be stopped.

      Go to the doctors with you sister. I remember seeing mine and the tears and snot were all over the place when I finally admitted that I just couldn't get a handle on my addiction to alcohol. I have to say my GP was fantastic and the relief I felt was enormous. What a weight of my chest.

      The only advice I can give is to be downright honest about how miserable drinking is making you, how much you are drinking and write down a few notes to ask beforehand.

      Let us know how you get on. OK.

          Oh Bimble you have so much to live for, people who love you. Please take this opportunity, be honest. Where are you from? England? Ireland?

                I was referred to a drug and alcohol unit. I was detoxed there as an day patient. I also got a key worker who was also my counsellor. They used valium (diazepam). I'm ashamed to say that over the years I've had to several detoxes. My last one being a home detox using diazepam prescribed by my GP. That one stuck, thank goodness.

                I'm afraid most of our GPs aren't trained specialist subjects like addiction that's why they have to refer us on.

                  bimble01, the only way I could stop after a three week binge of heavy drinking was to go to a doc, and get valium to help with withdrawals. Then, when I woke up at 3am craving a fix for withdrawals, I had a valium. That's been two days now, and withdrawals are nearly over. I haven't used the valium long enough to get withdrawals from it when I stop, which will be tomorrow.

                  Bottom line is, go to the doc.

                    Hi bimble. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can feel the pain and fear coming through in your words. :l:l:l I also want to share how much hope I see in your story. I know it doesn't feel that way right now. You have a sister who loves you and is willing to try to help. Is it possible the doctor appointment could be a turning point? You already know where the current road leads.......

                    You must have a lot of strength and courage to have survived the childhood you described, and I know it sure took a LOT of effort for me to manage my drinking career!!!! I have hope that you can channel all that strength and courage into a new phase of life free of of the grip of alcohol. You deserve that.

                    Good luck,

                    DG

                    PS - Like JC, I also resigned a job rather than get fired for drinking (my boss was on to me). Then I started drinking all day long. It got worse - not better after I quit my "stressful" job. You are not alone with that one, for sure!!

                      Hi Bimble......good to see you again and glad you keep posting and trying.

                      Are you ready to quit cos you sound ready, it's hard but easier than you think and sooooo worth it.
                      I hope you get sorted at your doc and stay on here and get sober. You deserve to get your life back and your kids deserve their mum back too.....:l
