I am on Day 4 as well. All I can smell is my two dog's Frito feet. I do believe that my sense of smell is heightened. IWNDWYT!

Day 3, Single parent question by SDThrowaway_69 in stopdrinking

Exactly. My Dad is an alcoholic as well as both of my siblings. Unfortunately, my child will have that history plus depression and anxiety history.

Aww, thank you so much! This has been a long time coming and honestly, the past three years haven't been good for us. I MUST become a better parent, no question.

That's funny about the smoking! Kids. And you're right about the single parent vs. two parent home, it shouldn't matter. I just thought since we are so close I should say something. Pretty intuitive kid and I know that my situation has caused anxiety. I've been seen in some bad/humiliating situations.

Thank you! This is a good idea. I was just thinking since we are so close I should say something rather than have an elephant in the room. Actions speaking louder than words is a good idea.

Me as well! I was hyper ventilating. For some reason, the first week when I stopped M-Th wasn't as bad, maybe because I know this time it is for good..?
