We already have a new thread, yay!
Anewpage, I went to see my Dr last month after I decided to quit drinking to get a complete physical/bloodwork. Was so worried I had damaged my liver, etc. I came clean with her and she was very supportive. I think most healthcare professionals deal with this a lot. I was just so tired of lying about how much I was drinking and wanted her to know so she could run the right tests, etc. You are a good mom for trying to get help. You just need to commit to it and put in the work. Not easy, I know, but it will be worth it in the long run

Thanks everyone for the support.
She wanted me to go to an outpatient rehab which goes for 2 weeks, 6 hours a day, Mon-Fri. I said I can't do it, I have kids I have to take care of during the day. So I have another appointment with her next week, we are going to discuss this further. Until then she said try to stick to only 2-3 drinks per day, and make sure they are REAL measures, not doubles or triples. So I am trying. I am also going to go on anti-anxiety meds which I think will help tremendously. Feeling good about the future. It's going to be a struggle but I think I'm ready. My liver, my family and I deserve better than this addiction.
Hope all of you ladies are doing well today!

Does he have a reason to be worried? My husband worried about the same stuff. In the end I did give him a reason. I behaved very inappropriately online with a man. When I got caught was when my drinking really went over the deep end.
I felt I didnt deserve sobriety for myself either. But, in the end I realized if I didnt care enough about myself to get sober for me it wouldnt matter. Husbands can divorce you or die. Kids grow up and leave you. In the end there may be only you. So you have to do it for you
