failing sadly

You've got access to the website, you've got access to the supps, and you've got access to the book. The choice is now yours and yours alone as to whether or not you want to get sober. Remember that alcoholism is a progressive disease, and over time almost always gets worse, never better.

As you mentioned, you've not been here since you've joined. Talking to people about the problems in your life (whether they are alcohol-related or not) can make a huge difference. I credit opening up to others and finally admitting my problem was THE turning point in my sobriety. Remember we are all here to help...

I agree with you AAthlete .... you speak for most of us and wise words... opening up and sharing helped me to realise I am not alone and should not be ashamed...can you admit to your bf that you have a problem? and treat it as a medical problem ...if you broke your leg it would be a surgical problem and not a stigma...

pm me if you need support.
Good Luck

Maybe I should start a thread on this, but I am not doing real well today. This has been an awful week, fighting with hubby bout money - or rather, not communicating about solutions. Now he wants to go out with the boys tonight which leaves me alone all day and evening with baby. And I know I will want to drink. I am ashamed to say this, because I wanted to be AF August and I too have failed miserably. But everyone says to come here if you are feeling down so that is what I am doing.

CS04, I hope you will start your own thread! I'm sorry that you are struggling today. I know you have challenges in your relationship with hubby and there is not quick fix to that. This probably sounds like a broken record, but you KNOW that alcohol won't fix it. All alcohol will do is keep taking you backwards one step at a time. At least staying sober takes you FORWARD - even if THAT is only one step at a time.

Nothing in life is so bad that drinking alcohol won't make it worse.

Your baby needs a sober Mom!! Take it one minute at a time if you have to - just don't drink because that won't help.

I'm there with you in spirit!! Hang tough CS!
