Hi and welcome to SR!
I probably have some of the same advice posted already. I work full time and have three children. I am on day 14 without wine. Although nothing horrible happened I often woke up tired, and then had to get through work, and then pick up the kids and manage homework, sports, dinner....
I found that the first thing I was doing when I came home was pouring a glass of wine. The glass led to another,mother a bottle, then a large bottle.
Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. However, being sober for my kids is worth it. I know I slacked on giving them my full attention many nights, and I always managed to justify it.
I hope your appointment goes well, keep reading and posting, SR is a great website!!!
