Hi all.. New gal here.. Picking up the pieces!
Hi Everybody. Needed a place to go. Lonely. Am 41 yr old stay at home Mom. Battled Alcohol all of my life. Binge drinker pattern now. (hopefully, never again!) Emotionally abusive man has me over barrel. Had one of the worst weeks of my life. Legal DWI troubles, pissed off PO on my "final" binge. Anxiety thru roof. Figuring out someone to talk to. Going forward from now on.

Welcome Horsegal1 - you're not alone anymore.....
Sorry to hear about your troubles. If you're living in an abusive marriage, that's a serious matter. Adding alcohol to the mix can only make things worse, even though we don't usually think so at the time. I'm glad you're ready to seek a better life- that's great!
Keep reading and posting and take it one day at a time. We're here to support you!

Yep, i just finally realized it.
Been living under his thumb for so long. I guess when you're an alcoholic you put up with more than you should from people. I'm finally beginning to see the light.

Living under an abusive man is something you should not stay in. Do you have an other place to stay for your safer?
Sorry about your legal trouble, I'm going through the same thing but I'm on my second one. GRRR. There is nothing you can do now but go through the process. Just take it one day at a time.

thanks.. it's not physical but i just realized the toll emotional crap does!
Didn't realize I've gotten so run down by him. Not making a excuses for my drinking but I finally decided to wake up. Stuck right now, kids and all. Right now, I look like the bad one..lol. I'm the crazy drunk gal. Nobody ever sees what he does. And yep, legal stuff is no fun! Can't believe the stress of it all.. I guess I should just remember this feeling so I don't touch a drop every again!

Hi Horsegal - welcome! I'm so glad you found us. When I came here 4 yrs. ago I was wounded and desperate for a way out. I got so much encouragement and great suggestions. I hope you'll feel the same.
I'm sorry for all that you've been through, but here's where it can end. You can have a great new life without falling back on alcohol to see you through. It never really helps, anyway - just causes more pain. For the changes you are going to make - you'll want to have a clear head. I know you can do this!

I hope we can help you as much as this site has helped me.

Hi Horsegal
Welcome to S/R. Many nice wonderful people here.
Feel free to talk it out. One thing for sure, all of us are more
alike than we are different from each other. Try the chat room
sometime as well. Talk soon.
