Im glad I have found you people

Hi sian,

I'm so glad you found the MWO site also. If you want to change the relationship you now have with mind-altering substances, just know one thing: YOU CAN. No matter how overwhelming it might seem right now, it can be done, and the fact that you have searched for a place to help you do that means that you possess the most important of all attributes in achieving that goal: the DESIRE to do so. Browse through the hundreds of posts on MWO; most of the information one needs to embark on the program is contained within. If there are particular posts that speak to your heart, send that individual an email and I can almost guarantee a sincere and honest response. (You'll have to register on EZBoard, but that is free and self-explanatory).
Above all, don't give up. We are all struggling with the same problem, which is why this board can and does provide such wisdom, comfort and support. Take care of yourself today, and please do come back. You can do this.

Best, Kate

Welcome Sian

Hi Sian,
Glad you came aboard. You can purchase the book at Amazon.com. They take Amerex. I, too, always drank for the effect only. Period. Hated the taste! Keep reading and posting. It really helps! You are a very busy mom, so hopefully this online forum will suit you well. Welcome again and look forward to getting to know you! Gina

Hi Sian,
Welcome to you.. I have 3 kids (5, 7 & 12) and have often been driven literally to "distraction" with drink & drugs. Don't feel bad that you have this trouble.. you have a huge load to carry and a lot of stress. I found when the kids were really little it's really tough with lack of sleep etc... but you've got both ends of the spectrum, babes & teenagers & everything inbetween... Man I know what you are going through. Please keep in touch. You'll find a lot of understanding, love, laughter and support here. I'm sure you are truly one of the STRONGEST people on this planet and having coped with everything for so long only proves it. So give yourself credit for all your hard work and holding your family together. Like so many other women it sounds to me like you're holding it all together for everyone but finding no time for yourself. I used to think of drinking as a way of 'giving' to myself. So sad. I'm just beginning to try to find new ways of being kind to myself. It's hard work!!
Talking things out here, hopefully we are all finding new ways.. day by day.
Keep in Touch.
Love
MFM
