Hi keepthefaith

I think however bad things get, drinking can only make them worse.

I reckon the only problem you can do anything about right now is your drinking.

Sort that out and then you can turn your attention to the other stuff.

There's a ton of support here - you really can get sober and stay that way

Well, drinking is something that can only go against you in terms of custody, like Dee said, it pretty much makes bad things worse.

Welcome, and Dee is right. The best thing you can do right now is to stay sober and be the Mom you want to be.

Get yourself sober first, and sort out the details later. But if you're dealing with child custody, your drinking can be used against you.

Your drinking WILL BE used against you.
I lost custody of my child to a narcissist alcoholic/addict who just happened to get sober before I even started drinking to excess. I drank BC I thought I lost the love of my life...until I lost my child. I don't miss my ex at all. But I desperately miss my child, it is an excrutiating pain that few understand. To lose your child as a Mother? It is a seething pain that I would not wish on my worst enemy.
It's been the #1 catalyst that depresses me so much that I chronically relapse...hopefully for the last time.
You do not want to follow that path.
Please get well and stay strong and know that you are not alone.

This sounds like my story! It's a pain you cannot describe ever, I lost my mum to korikorfs syndrome when I was 13 and I thought that was pain, but I knew nothing till I lost my children!!

Hello! Is today Day 1? That's pretty special! Make sure you have a medical plan in place in case you need it, drink plenty of water, and distract yourself with activity if you can! Yes, your children do deserve a sober mom, and you deserve a more peaceful, focused life. You can do this for yourself. You are worth it! We'll be here cheering you on!

Hello, Keepthefaith, I think if you stop drinking your other problems will be much easier to sort out. You can do this and you will never regret it. Wishing you all the best in your sober journey.
