I'm really not trying to be melodramatic, I just don't think I have it in me to do this again. Getting sober was the most painful, most difficult thing I've ever done, worse than childbirth in some ways, and I had both children unmedicated.
I just want to sleep it away.

You have to decide you're willing to do it again, that's all. It may be hard, it may be painful in some ways... But it sure beats the alternative.
Hope you get some sleep.

You do not have to be "fat, dejected and drunk".
You want to sleep it away?
Actually, have you thought that you might have a valid medical problem and are self medicating to deal with everything?
Why not start with a full check-up bloodwork and obgyno visit? Sometimes the drinking masks other issues.
And the hot weather exacerbates most of us too.
Please think of what one thing you can do today to improve your outlook a little bit.
And know that you are not alone with these thoughts you have, but in reality you are very blessed to have 2 beautful healthy children and a husband...many do not.
Start with a little gratitude for what you DO have.
