I'm Melanie, and i'm an Alcoholic! I have been very blessed with a second chance at life not only for myself but my family aswell. My boys never witnessed my addition to Alcohol as they were both so young, but now they are 4 & 6 and I can enjoy every minute of there lives today. And with that I am truely blessed

Welcome to SR Melanie. Little ones do motivate us! Feeling we are missing the most important years, and the guilt. Every night I would think of my son and feel guilty as Hell. Now I'm on day 2, but feel proud. The shame will disapear
