Hi Guys,
I am new to this and hopefully I had my last drink yesterday.
I have upset everyone I love and care about.
I had an amazing weekend with my children last weekend and I have spoilt it this weekend. By drinking. I have been told I am unable to see them now and I feel my Whole world is falling down around me.
I owe people Money and I have lied and I hve noticed friends dont call me anymore.
I have been reading posts allday. Thought I would say Hi.x

Hello and welcome.
Sorry about your kids. I upset and disappointed every one I knew because of my drinking.
In the end, it was me alone with a bottle.
It can be your last drink. Next time you feel like drinking, think of what happened the last time. I do this and the horrible memories help keep me sober.
You'll find lots of support here, and best to you on quitting for good.

I have done the same. Let down everyone who ever cared for me.
I just can't do that to my Children any longer.
MJ - don't despair you are in the right place!! Glad your here!
Stick around, ask questions and do what your doing = read posts! If you really have the desire and willingness to quit, it is possible.
Keep posting my friend......

Thank you so much. Really helps to talk on here and no that I am not alone.
MJ, glad you found SR and are here with us.
This is a great community with tons of support. You have to make the decision to quit for yourself. There is no middle ground...
You can do it. Once you commit, your actions and efforts will speak for themselves. It is a tough journey, but so worth the effort; especially if you have been denied being able to see your kids.
MJ, re-read your original post and take out the word "hopefully" from "hopefully I had my last drink yesterday".
I have found that each time I leave any opening, I return to drinking. Even if that opening is a sliver of a thought, I have lost the fight before I even began.
Your choice, but if you do choose, then you HAVE had your last drink yesterday. Simple as that.
Best of luck to you.

So it's Day 2. Feeling less Shaky today although I nearly collapsed in the shower this morning!
Come back into work and feel a bit stronger. Got to tell the people I owe money too that I have not got it. But, I can't bury my head in the sand any longer.
Lots of water for me today.
Muchos Love.

Through a couple of relapses I have no truer words then those spoken above! Good luck with your son but you really need to take care of you first right now.
