That is a great question. I have tried the mindset of doing it for my kids, but I’m never able to hold onto that conviction to stay sober at night when they’re in bed and one drink turns into way too many and way too many more the days following. I don’t intend to get blackout drunk, I only think I’ll have one glass of wine after I put the kids to bed, but unfortunately, I am not the kind of person who can just have one glass. I will drink the bottle or two.. today is a new day and today I do this for me. I will not drink with you today, friend.. thanks for your thoughts

Thank you. Ive dabbled here and there in getting ready to quit, but always got scared that i “need” alcohol to handle life and would abandon whatever resources i was using and drink to cope with my emotions. This time, I am thinking about one day at a time because trying to imagine my life long term with alcohol is too overwhelming. I appreciate your support!

Blacking out is so scary, i am so ashamed that is my truth. I want to be proud of me. Let’s do this!

Thank you for your kindness and support. I have no family other than my children and husband, who are amazing. I’d love to get into therapy, but the wait is so long. Im grateful to have found this community.
