Hey here!
31 yr old, divorced single mother of an 8 yr old daughter. Texas born and bread!
Been drinking since I was 14. Ramped up quite a bit more post divorce 3 yrs ago.
So I'm here...found you guys on Friday, as I spent the day off from work thinking about a crucuial conversation that I'd had the night before. No, I don't have control and yes I do have a problem. I don't drink daily, but actually have to think about not on the days that I don't. When I do drink, I am a 1-2 bottler. I have ended up with stitches, been on cruches, and had some just down right brutal bruises. My career hasn't been effected, although my behavior at our gold tournament this week wasn't ideal....I have lost friends and most recently a guy I was seeing because of my love for and behavoiro with booze. I didn't think that I had a problem b/c I don't drink daily, and still maintain the majority of my responsibilities. Wow...what a slap in the face that has been.
So I'm here....on day 3...planning on ABS for 31 days. Not sure what the plan will be past that, but 31 days and the start to a lifestyle change is enough for me to process right now.Thanks for reading, for your encouragement, and words of wisdom through this journey.
