Hi I'm new just looking for a little advice. I'm a mother of seven a combined family for about 8 and half years. I have alwasy been a drinker but never considered myself a alcholic. I'm a sports mom with a lot of kids in rep sports. Always busy but live for them. I drank at all there functions as everybody else did. A few of our kids are know young men. Put us threw hell any way my home life started to tumble. Know help from my husband felt like he didn't even new I was there. I had to deal with all there troubles. I had no support or at least I feel like I had none. Had know realationship with my husband all he focus on was the other kids. Well I started heavily drinking to feel the void in all the places. Now it has come all out let him know how bad it really is. I was trying to stop but can't it really hurts. I'm ready to rip someones face off shortly after I walk threw the door if I can't have a drink. It hurts because all I want to do is stop now for myself and family. How could something get this far out of hand. I finally got his attention and he is working with me. He says he loves me and is going to walk the walk with me. But I'm so sick I cant stop. HELP

I'm feeling symtoms that are horrible shaking felling like to ripe my own skin off. Felling real angry at everybody. There is a lot more to post about my info but one step at a time for me our I would be on this computer all night. Talk about stomach going crazy. This is one of the worse feelings you can experience. Just your whole body is going to cave with out a drink is this safe.
Good for you Athena. Glad to here you made it that far sober. How did you do it did you have medical help to start you off on the right path? Your right my drinking is a daily thing when I get home from work. I'm very scarred about the withdrawl symptoms I here Doing it alone at the point I'm at could put my body in shock or even worse can cause death. I really not sure what to do at this point still drinking to keep my body from all the bad symptoms that I feel even with the thought of not being able to have a drink. Going to my family doctor on Wednesday to spill it all out but I'm so scarred about it all and what he might think of me. I know my liver is damaged got the pains in it have to tell him that to. I just want to get better and live a normal life do good fun things with my spouse and family live life again. I'm great full he is on board to help me I wouldn't know what to do if he turned his back on me. He is stuck on what to do but I guess doctor visit is the first step.
You keep up the good work glad to see that you have been able to get this far. Thanks for your concern and info
Went to my doctor today. Spilled my heart and soul to him. He seems to think I can do this on my own with supervision from my husband to make sure I don't have any medical problems. I really don't know if I can as I have tried day after day. As for my medical condition he thinks its my problems from a previous visit to the hospital about my stomach I had a lot of problems with pulops and diveticulosis. I truly know this is my liver so he is sending me for a ultrasound just to make sure. I'm scared to death about all the hole thing. Has anybody had the symptoms I have and had been able to detox them selves on there own? he is big on AA not sure I am. Think I need a little more than that to start. Any input on detox would be greatly appreciated.
Any input at all would be appreciated. Anybody that can give my the match to lite the light at the end of the tunnel would help.
Thank you for your advise. It has helped me a lot. I have set a quit date and its this Friday. I'm truly scared to face this but relieved I am. I admitted to my older children about my addiction. Told them I'm seeking help. There responce to me was great. Many tears fell Sunday was a real emotional day. All my children wanted to here me admit to my problem. There even more joyful that I'm trying to do something about it. There are willing to do anything for me go with me to any meetings it feels real good. My husband normally works Friday night but is going to take it off so he can be there for me and to spend time with our youngest. I have to do a little more digging to deal with the withdrawl symptoms. I really have came out of my comfort zone and talk to my daughters friends mother. She nearly lost her life due to liver failure due to alcohol. She was shocked to here that I had a problem as I hide it real well from others. She is willing to be there for me anytime if its going for a walk or having a coffee or just picking up the phone to talk. She even said she would go to any meetings with me that I wanted her to. I'm real glad that I opened up.
Motivation
Any inspiring words would greatly be appreciated as I count down my days.
If this don't work I'm detox center bound. I have to stop the insanity.
Well I'm so scared of the withdrawl symptoms. Next I'm scared of failing I have know more time to fail never been a failure in my life. This disease has taken over every part of me. I really don't think my doctor gets how bad I have become. Took a alcohol test and the results were scary at the least. The said I should seek medical attention to detox. I still plan to do it at home and my date is Friday I'm scared but determined to beat it. I'm relieved that I spoke out and the most important people to me know my situation. There proud of me. All I want is to beat this disease for me and them. II'm also relieved that I steped out of my comfort zone and told somebody else and believe me it was hard. Just pray that I can do this but I'm really scared. I have every intention to follow threw with my Friday goal even if my husband has to take me to detox.
I'm tired of this and can't wait to feel some of the good feelings of other people have got to experience after giving up the alcohol.
