Hi all, I haven't posted in a while.. I am feeling a little down the last few days and need to vent. I feel like my life is over. Don't mean that as dramatically as it sounds, ie I am dying, but just the fun and adventure and good times for me are done. Right now my entire goal and focus is on my kids, that they dont grow up "screwed up" and make poor choices like I did. I wish I could go back in time and warn my younger self that the fun, life of the party guy would be a terrible mistake. To go for the nice "boring" guys instead of mr good times. Have no one I can talk to. Nobody knows what I am going through, I have little ones and cant get to meetings, and ah is so presentable no one would believe the crazy late night binges that goes on after everyone else leaves or goes to bed. He has a good job, well dressed, likable, etc etc blah blah blah. Anyway just needed to let that out a bit! Xo

Hi Tweety
 
Glad you had the need to share and did!! I believe you and everyone who has lived with the disease of alcoholism also know exactly what you are saying and how you are feeling.

Hugs Tweet :)

I'm glad you are feeling better :) Please keep coming back. This summer my kids have discovered fun mom. It's taken a lot of years of pain and some serious work over the past few months on my part. I smile now and laugh it's something they haven't heard me do consistently if ever. There is hope and you are so not alone in your feelings and you don't have to stay alone in them either.

Hugs again P :)
