Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site...looking for some sort of support...motivation...being able to talk to people who are or we're in the same position. I have no idea what happened this past year but I've fallen into a place I don't want to be. I have 3 amazing boys (5, 4 and 20 months) I drink..almost every night..not 1 or 2 drinks...much more. I don't understand why I'm doing it..I recognize that I have a problem...I'm sabotage myself , my goals. I've been looking for support groups online...I feel so alone in this and ashamed.
22 days is great! I was not a drinker prior to this past year but still struggled with addictions for 14 years (people can say pot is not addictive...that's a lie...I felt the exact same urges for needing to be high as I do now for wanting to drink) I quit smoking and smoking pot when I found out I was pregnant with my first. After number 3 was born we moved (he was 7 months old)..that's pretty much when I started drinking. I sabotage myself too, I am a newborn and baby photographer...I LOVE my job but think part of me is so busy with 3 kids I have no outlets since its all kids...all the time. they go to bed...I drink...I need to take that mind frame and adjust my thoughts....I should be spending that time working on the things I love (photogrphy...crafting and creating). I was a personal trainer, I was in great shape before having kids, I love working out but am struggling to take off this 20lbs (I wonder why...binge drinking...eating stuff I wouldnt normally eat...) I see all the negatives...there are no good reasons for drinking so why do I do it...how do I shut this thinking off. I get the urge...as Im doing it or running to buy booze...in the back of my mind Im asking myself why...then shoving that thought away and continue to do what I hate myself for doing
Thank You Junes...just logging in and reading the posts of other members and your comments on mine is making me feel better, I have somewhere to turn. I want to be here for others as much as I want to be here for myself.
I look forward to following everyone's progress
