Hi everyone ... I am a stay at home mother of four and am struggling with alcohol addiction. I have maintained two periods of sobriety but began drinking again a few months ago and am in bad shape. I know that I damaging my children because of my drinking and I need all the support I can get on all fronts. I will be attending AA meetings and will get a sponsor soon as we have recently moved to a different state. I know people who do meetings on line as well and I think that will help me. I am VERY scared that my alcoholism will destroy my body and my family. Any support I can receive would be greatly appreciated
