I was fun and energetic! People loved to be around me to talk through issues or have a laugh.

Now it's seems like I isolate myself so I can drink alone without being judged. I can not go to sleep sober.

My Father is an alcoholic as was his Mother, so it is in my jeans to top it off.

I want to be proud of who I am as I used to be.

So I will will start doing small things daily to be proud of myself.

I feel like that sounds like a good idea but I don't really know where to start or what will work....

Bella,

Bella who were you before the drinking?

What will be different in your life if you stop drinking?

i have no idea. i'm lost i have no identity anymore... or at least it's slipping away quickly.

i just have to believe I can do this and know how much better it will be in the end.

I know you are scared. I know you feel weak but you would be surprised by the strength you have within. You really just have to believe it.

If you want to look back at this moment and be happy, who do you have to be now in order to achieve that?

Welcome Bella,

I am glad you found us. It seems that this has been causing you a lot of pain. Please know that you have the strength and power to change this. 10 years from now when your little onee is 14 and your life is different how do you want to look back at this moment? What would you want to tell yourself?

I started drinking alot about 5 years ago when my Mother dies and my husband was working nights, it was out of pain and bordom. Now it is dependance but I see how I am changing and my marriage as well. I have a 4 year old and don't want him to have memories of a mom like me. i start drinking as soon as he goes to bed but now i never do anything else other then drink when he goes to bed. i stopped cleaning, running on my tred mill, watching m,ovies with my hubby. i feel like I have no control over this situation. i am really hoping this group helps me somehow.
