Thank you Ruby. I'm so emotional right now, and your post has got me choked up. My kids are 6 and 7, and I know that they have been affected. My son (the 6-year-old) has said, "I know it's hard for you to stop drinking" and my daughter says, "Just stop! Why can't you just stop?!?" This is no life for them. And I'm going to reach out to as many groups as I can. In fact, I was already set up to go into outpatient treatment next week. Now I feel like I can honestly go instead of because I was forced to.
