Welcome!

Take your time and look around, and if you start to feel comfortable, maybe you would like to share. We have lots of inspiration and good information here.

Welcome Angel. Share your experience when ready.

I am 42, married with a beautiful 6 1/2 year old daughter, and have been drinking heavily for over 5 years. I was not a binge drinker ( I haven't been drunk since beforehand daughter was born), but I did drink every day, and had even been having a drink in the morning before work for the past 1 1/2 years! Throw in a lunch break cocktail in my car, and I developed myself quite the problem.

Finally realized I was not living a life I wanted, and had come to hate myself and my failings as a mom. So, here I am at 2 1/2 months sober, and although there are tough days (today was a doozy), I keep thinking how much happier I have been, and how much happier my family has been since putting the bottle down...that's what I try to focus on.

Anyway, welcome again.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I don't know what I would have done or where I would be if I hadn't found this site. It was a turning point for me. Thank you for being here.
