    the children

    my children have been affected with the amount of drinking that has been going on the house, but now we are getting ourselfs sorted i can see a difference, we have a social worker because of it and she is getting us help for my youngest who is only 7 and didnt know his daddy sober until now.

      I'm glad to see that you are getting it all sorted out, Ally. I'm glad the social worker is helping. Keep posting here, and we'll try to help, too!

      All the best,

        It took my daughter stopping talking to me for me to really evaluate what I'm doing to her and myself. I quit October 13th and after a week or so, she started talking to me. Just that one week was enough for me finally understand I really, really had to quit. I'm so glad I found this site!!!!

        Ally, good luck! Sometimes people need a "reality" check. I'm doing this for my daughter. I couldn't do it for myself!

          When you think about it and you start 'solving the problem' i thing that things go better and better keep trying and when you try for something the reward is great espesialy from your children

              I thought I was slick and getting away with it but my children, mostly my 13 year old daughter have been very affected by my constant drinking at home. We had a bad Sunday and I've been sober since. I found this site and MWO last summer but I guess i didn't have enough motivation. I know now I don't want to miss anymore of my kids' lives being half in the bag.

              Good luck to everyone, this is a great place for support.

                Welcome ThuzzyQ..... interesting name!
                Yeah, my daughter (who is 9 and sharp as a tack) was a huge motivation for me to face my loosing battle with alcohol. I want her to be proud of me. And, I want to love her as much as she deserves! Which is a ton!!
                good to have you here.

                    Until lately, what scares the bejeezus out of me is the reality of my daughter being under the age of two and that she can't look out for herself. What in the heck would happen if the place were to be on fire, or she hurt herself or something of that nature and I was passed out???? I would NEVER forgive myself.

                    Our children and their emotional and physical well being is enough for us to want to be well!

                        My daughter is one of the reasons Im here. She's 4 and I dont want to hurt her. I dont want her seeing me drunk. I dont want to embarass her and I dont her to be the one with drunk mom.

                          One of the main reasons I am here too. My twins are 4 and baby is 18 months. I want to get it together and be a sober part of their lives and like Accountable said...be able to act if an emergency happens. That scares the crap out of me too.

                            You have made great step to come here and wright to forum. It is nice to see persons that have taken this kind of decision. My mom is still trying to take this decision and as time passes it becomes harder..But your children will support you in everithing that you do, and will be next to you always don't worry about that. I hope you keep trying and the faster you believe that you can do it, the faster it will became piece of cake
