Drinking.... i feel its becoming a problem
After SD18 stole from us and split the state I started feeling really depressed. Like we did everything for her and she never apprecaitex anything. It hurt. So I had a glass of wine here and there to calm my nerves. Then a glass turned into a bottle. Now I'm downing a bottle of wine and a few shots of vodka a day. I haven't been honest with my husband friends or you guys. My post latley have been light and cheery but inside I'm really hurting. I'm recognizing I have a problem. I'm going to seek professional help and have talked to DH who has hidden all bottles from me pissing me off. This happened within weeks I've just spireld downward.
Sorry for spelling mistakes. I'm typing on my phone and don't feel like going through and correcting. I thank you all for your friendship and support. You have become apart of my life and I know you will see me through this just as much as anyone. I am standing up and saying I have a problem. I'm not to proud to air my dirty laundry.

Hugs!!!! Its a big step admitting there could be a problem! Kudos to you for getting in front of the problem! We all need help some times
You've done the biggest part
You've done the biggest part spoke up and said you need help. That's a big deal as there are so many who cannot admit they struggle. We're all behind you.
Oh, honey, we don't judge
Oh, honey, we don't judge you. I often think how easy it would be to be a wino. I love wine and could probably drink it almost every night if I let myself.
You know you have a problem and that is the first and a very important step. You have all of our support.
I am so very sorry that you are hurting so much.
Sorry to hear you've been
Sorry to hear you've been struggling, and it's very brave of you to admit that you may need some help.
A few weeks ago I started to get in the habit of opening a beer when getting home from work. Sometimes it would end up being more than one. It just seemed to make things easier to deal with.
I'm prone to depression, and being that alcohol is a depressant, I had to stop going for that beer! I felt myself sinking a bit.
With help and support I'm sure you'll be fine!
Thanks everyone. I thought at
Thanks everyone. I thought at least if I made my self say it and realize it I can change before I end up in a place I don't want to be. Right now I am really craving a glass in all honesty have considered sneaking off to the store and drinking in the garage while DH sleeps. But I looked at DD and stepGS I feel really crappy. I'm not in a good place and I don't want to only be happy after I have alcohol in me. I cant sleep. I may just have a glass of grape juice and pretend and watch crappy reality TV to drown out my thoughts until I fall asleep.

" Like we did everything for her and she never appreciate anything. It hurt."
I soo get this. SD19 took off from our house to live with her mother who abandoned her & did nothing for her - not even a gift.

this. Anyone that is an alcoholic should seek medical treatment with a doctor. I had a dear friend end up in the hospital (and drug induced coma) for four weeks because he quit on his own. His DTs nearly killed him ( he had siezers after as well because the booze had changed his brain chemistry so badly) Sadly, he went right back to drinking and we lost him just over a year ago. OP, hugs to you and best of luck in your quest- you can do it.
