Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I have been sober for roughly 9 days now, it hasnt been easy but im fighting the battle.
Im a 26 year old female and mother of 2 beautiful girls (5 and 7)
I have struggled with alcoholism for 3-4 years now and have slowly pushed all my family and friends away because of it.

I have been admitted to the hospital 4 times because every time I try to quit I have siezures! I also suffer from horrible anxiety and depression.

Its time to get better and reclaim my life!!

Hi and congratulations on your 9 days.
Each day should be getting better and you’ll continue to be proud of yourself.

During my first couple of weeks it helped me to keep repeating to myself that if I don’t pick up that first drink I won’t have to TRY to get sober AGAIN.

BE WELL

Reclaim your life indeed! Welcome to SR

Not sure if you are detoxed, but if you have an history of seizures, please make sure you see your doctor, they can help do this safely.

I have kids too. I realized today (only Day 2) that they have never really known me sober, and they are 10 and 7. SO AWFUL. Hang in there, you can do it.
