Having a rough evening. Just found out my kid is basically flunking out of college. No lack of brains - just lack of effort. Really just want to get hammered and forget the whole thing. I know I will wake up hungover and ashamed and the problems will still be there, but that nasty little voice in the back of my head says, "what the hell, if the problem will be there tomorrow, why not just give yourself a break tonight?"

Thanks everyone. Just knowing you are there helps.

Hi Sunrise I'm having a rough time tonight too. I'm in this with you. We will make it through tonight.

Good job on coming here and posting!

I wouldn't call it "giving yourself a break." I would call it giving yourself a lot of misery.

Hoping that you stay strong and know that you staying sober tonite will help you stay clear headed and able to talk to your son reasonably in the near future. I worked hard tonite and also felt like a reward would be nice but I know that drinking really wouldn't be a reward. Stay strong fellow alcoholic 😋

I gotta say, it is so cool to see the support on this site. Someone says I'm hurting, someone else says, me too! Let's get thru this together!
Such a cool site.
Hope you both make it thru the night without the bad stuff!

Yes this place is great! You guys have no idea how much this helps... feeling much stronger now. We will all make it through this together.

Hi sunrisesky

I can't tell a parent to stop worrying - but you know that a drink is not going to help your and his grades - and it's not likely to stop you worrying either

I hope your son will get his priorities right and make a grades comeback
