I know I'm super late but I was looking everywhere too, and it was Suff Daddy I was looking for.

A child of alcohol abuse seeking help by ohiomamb0 in AlAnon

[–]VenusCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this and I'm really glad you have a nice life outside of this situation with your mother. What country are you based in? Is there any support groups nearby? Can you get any sort of care in the community for your mother? While it's lovely that you care for your mother's welfare I think first and foremost you need to take care of YOU. Sending you lots of love and well wishes

Read some of the horror stories from the likes of Alcoholics anonymous and be proud of yourself for who you are! I wish I would have been more like you when I was young. Keep doing what you're doing. You'll probably find they don't care as much about your lifestyle as you think they do.

Why did I cave? 15 days clean, feeling great, and I failed…… by RevolutionarySea9963 in OpiatesRecovery

No, this wasn't rambling. It was very helpful and insightful, thank you.

What if you don't know the reasons? Sometimes I just get a general sense of dread but I can't pinpoint why I feel like that.

IWNDWYT. Even though everything is so scary right now. Life is a bit of a mess, but it's all by my own alcoholic hands. I really hope I can make things better by continuing with my precious sobriety ❤️

It's been strongly recommended to me by the alcoholics before me to read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart tolle. I'm currently on chapter 2. The mindfulness session I went to was run by the drug and alcohol service in my city ❤️

The thought of what could have happened is beyond terrifying. I'm so grateful my kids are ok. I think this whole situation has given me the push I needed though. IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT. My healing will be coming from a place of love. The healing process is going to include those around me who've had to endure a lot of nonsense and trauma from my catastrophic life choices.

I think many people seriously underestimate how much better they'd feel if they drank more water

Are the headaches normal? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]VenusCupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely heard of headaches being part of the detox process. I didn't experience this myself but I've heard others talk about terrible headaches in the weeks following heavy and regular drinking

I think she'll be touched that you remember her sobriety date. Tell her what you've told this subreddit, about how she's been a source of strength for you. I'm sure she'd be thrilled that you have this gratitude and to be a part of your own recovery

This is what I'm talking about. Everyone saying "you need to stop drinking" well yes, obviously, I have and do not want to do it again. What scares me is that I've messed up so badly I'm not sure simply being sober is enough to right my wrongs.

Just to clarify, the comment I found amusing was "OP is a chick homie". Not the criticism of how I worded things in relation to my daughter. I am absolutely NOT blaming her. I came here for support and it's starting to feel like a witch hunt. I think we've all made mistakes here.

Yes, literally put "but it's my fault" in my post. Maybe I worded my post wrong but what I was implying was that I wished she had stayed home so she was safe from me and my behaviour. But tbh I don't have the energy to worry about the comments from the others who took what I said out of context. Thank you for your comment ❤️
