Hi there.
I'm 8 days into this journey (so still really early for me) but this forum has been a great place for me to start. I've just started reading 'Drinking: A Love Story' which so far is a great read on alcoholism from a woman's perspective. I'm also a mum of 2 little ones so a lot of what you said hit home for me. It's very difficult for me to get to an AA meeting, so at the moment I'm using this forum and doing other reading-but going it alone. I do like the idea of going to a meeting and connecting with others who can relate to me but haven't found a convenient time yet, between all other commitments.
Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and with you well with your recovery.
