I'm back and lots has changed!

Well since I was last here my boyfriend moved out. We are still together but things has not been easy. I was such a mess that I began drinking a lot! Well 7 days ago I got really drunk and broke down bad. I woke the next day realizing I needed to make some major life changes or I was going to lose everything! I really love my children and my boyfriend and I don't want them to suffer anymore because of me. I have not drank since the 9th and I have been pretty strong so far. I have been going to church and spending more time with my sober friends. I'm feeling hopeful.

I also got the iPhone app so I can come here anytime I need you guys!

Thanks! I'm pretty motivated this time and the withdrawals have not been as bad as I thought. I think most of my problem was mental. I just needed to let go of the emotional hold it had on me and try and be happy with out drinking. Even though it never really did make me happy.

That was the way it was going for me however the insanity continued until I got honest and got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I went to AA and even resisting things I knew nothing about wanted to get sober more than I wanted the pain of drinking. Many years later it's still working in spite of myself at times. Hang on and keep coming. BE WELL
