sax is back
Kinda sucks as i just wrote loads but I hit a wrong button, and now it's gone, anyway for those that do know me, I had a beautiful daughter 9 weeks ago, she is perfect! I'm back as I am not so perfect 
8 months sober then gone in a blink of an eye, not as bad as I was, but getting there which is why I am here I guess :/

Hi Sax!
Welcome back - and congratulations on your daughter.
Seems to me these two statements are pretty incompatible...
It took me a long time to accept it wasn't ok...not for me.
Other people have drinks...drinks have me. It's the way it is.
I really hope you soon get to the point I did...without having to go as far as I did.
You deserve it - and all your kids deserve it too

Sax, what a wonderful surprise to see you here. You know I'd never give up on you either. So wonderful that you came back to try again - if you weren't serious, you wouldn't have bothered. Proud of you my friend!

Hey Sax...Congrats on the baby girl. You and I joined SR about the same time. You CAN do this. Please don't be like my sister in law that just got her 3 kids taken away. It is SO not worth it. She is filled with shame and remorse.
I haven't been on SR much but I still know this site helped me get sober. I'm so grateful for my clean and sober life today. If I can do it so can you! Let me know if I can do anything to help you

Congratulations on your baby girl Mine is due in 3 mos.
Sounds like it's your first? It can be very stressful. My dysfunctional drinking really escalated after I had my children. The hardest thing for me to adjust to was my head buzzing all the time. Always 'on' even if they're asleep or whatever. If I could turn the clock back I'd do what I'm doing now which is to learn and PRACTICE ways to relax/unwind. I was hopeless, hadn't a clue how to do any of that without a bottle.
Congratulations again. Enjoy your new baby!

Sax, welcome back and congrats on your beautiful baby girl.
The greatest gift you can give yourself is a new life in sobriety my friend and I took me many years to finally get it. I found support to be key.
My little one is due soon and I have worked quite hard to get where I am at now.
Huggs and you can do this!!!
