Things are hard right now Ang... no way to sugarcoat it. You have to protect yourself and your children. Drinking isn't going to help the situation you know. I really do understand though... please stay strong and don't keep drinking. I can see things going to worse hun and I don't want that to happen .

PaperDolls

It's okay ang. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and take care of you.
Be safe!

It happens to the best of us. Keep going you will do fine. We all have gone through it.

Hevyn

...right now, blaming yourself for his problems (where to live). I did that same thing for so long - and the unthinkable happened despite my best intentions - a divorce and me raising our son alone. We all want to be loved and have a happy, peaceful life - he ruined that for you with his actions and he doesn't deserve your sympathy. I have picked up again over much more trivial things - just keep trying -I know you'll get past this time and heal.

Ang...none of this is your fault. You did what you had to do for your kids and yourself. The cyps obviously agree you're all at risk.

Chris could have, and should have, acted to get help a long time before this. You know that.

and...I'm betting you feel worse this morning for drinking...next time when the panic gets you, please ring an AA contact or jump on here, ok ? There are other ways to cope Ang - you know that by now

Alyce14

I'm mad at you because you probably have a few more hours of sobriety than I have!!

Today is my gradual cutoff day (wimping out, but it is bad enough). I share your pain,

Here's my usual line angie: "We don't shoot our wounded"

Glad you're posting here. How about taking another run at sobriety?

Angie, keep posting honestly and I pray that you find someone local whom you can reach out to for help.

Hi Angie - Just wanted to share a hug with you It sure sounds like things are difficult for you right now, but hang on best you can. I slipped & drank a couple of days ago...I feel your pain on that front. You will be in my prayers...Keep your chin up and get right back to where you were...Thanks for sharing!

Astro

Hey Jomey, Thanks! Thanks! for your honesty;-) You keep your chin up too!

Angie,

Early sobriety can be most challenging...Forgive yourself...Try again...

You can do this...

Thinking of you...

Pipes Mcgee

I dont think thats an accurate or very healthy statement. "None of this is your fault"???? Whose fault is it that she drank? Got to take responsibility for our actions or else success will always elude. Always.

Dee74

Ah thanks for the sermon Pipes...but if you'd been following this, you'd know I wasn't referring to drinking at all in the part you emphasised.

Sometimes it's not *all* about drinking, even here at SR.

Context is important.

Try to keep up, there's a good chap.

Pipes, I was going to comment but I'll leave what Dee said stand. He said it better than I would have.

The statement None of this is your fault is about something far more serious than her slip in the scheme of things. Really. Your point is well put even if not applicable to this situation though.


Support and hugs out to you Ang. If you need to pm me... please do hun.
