Day 3 - for the millionth time !
Hi there , I'm back again for the millionth time . I just keep caving in triggered by the appalling behaviour of my teenage son ( who I love to bits I should add). However I know , HE doesn't make me drink, I make me drink . However I have got to make it work this time - look at my name - I have been trying for four years !! I have a sober buddy in my neighbourhood with whom I communicate a couple of times a day. We are meeting this weekend. I am hoping that will make the difference !

Welcome icandothis! You CAN 
day 3 tends to be a tough one for me. Depending on how/how much you drink at a go (I'm a binge drinker) day 3 is the day I feel the worst for some reason. Stick to your guns - call people if necessary :-)

Welcome back. I think getting a solid plan in place would be very beneficial to stop repeating the same actions. Go to AA? Perhaps start seeing a therapist? Your son might be acting up because he's deeply hurt by your drinking?

Teenage son here too.....Love him to death, even when he is suspended from school for 5 days for beating up a kid on the school bus!
I always had a reason to drink....football game on television, it's sunny out, bad day at work, kid stuff, etc. We can always make an excuse to have a drink...but can we stick to our guns and NOT drink when the going gets tough???
YES WE CAN!
