Im doing my best
Im also afraid to be honest in here because I heard that people can jump down your back and are quick to judge
maybe thats wrong but im not feeling strong enough to take that chance
talk soon

Aw healing, nobody will jump down your back, but we will be honest..
For example, you post this~
I drank a 12 pack and took my young child to the store to get more liquor, but I dont have a problem.
We WILL be honest, blunt, and even tough. But its all out of concern, not meanness.

Hi Healing and welcome back,
So glad you made it back to SR, a lot of people get discouraged and give up. Twenty seven months sober is no little achievement. When you feel up to it I would be interested to know what led up to your relapse, this is purely from a selfish point of view as I think you can teach me something.
All the very best

the short way of saying it is
my girls who went into care at 4 and 5 because a belonged hospital visit do to bipolor and BPD
are now 18 and 19 in July and Aug
I visited once a month and called every other week on the phone I was never drunk or hung over for a visit or phone call
my oldest three years ago stopped visiting and in the next few months wrote two angry letters about abuse that happened to her
I didnt remember she didnt believe me and cut off all contact in June
not sure if that helps

hi healing.
Thank you for sharing. sharing can be just as hard as staying sober.
Sr is about sharing stories and feelings. I don't think anyone will be telling you off for drinking. they will simply try to help you find your way back.
finding new ways to cope with feelings is never easy. forgivness or lack of can send anyone back to drinking if you dont learn new ways to cope.
I cope now by coming here. before i found this site i spent most of my time laying in bed and being depressed not talking to anyone.
I pray for you and your family to find new ways to cope and to show each other love and forgiveness. I know its far from easy but it can be done.
thank you for sharing healing.

healing I didn't mean to pry, but your post was a tad unintelligible.
I am very sorry that you are having a hard time, and I hope being here in these forums will give you some comfort.
Take care of yourself and feel free to pm me if you would like to.
