for some reason,I took strange comfort in knowing there are others like me...

I always thought I was an intelligent,informed,responsible woman.Yeah,I grew up in an alcoholic homee,and married and divorced an alcoholic,but I was doing it all-work,mommie,workout.I had it all...then I came into a new relationship.Nice guy who loves to party.I started drinking a little on friday nights...then wed and fri nites...then a nightcap every night,then blotto after a bad day at work,then get a buzz and post on DU all morning while my kids were in school.Last week I was too drunk to pick my son up.I did it anyway.I could have killed him.Thursday was my last drink.God help me,because I want one so badly right now.Thank you all for being there.

1. You are doing the most responsible thing now.

I wish I could make it easier for you. But it will be worth it.

2. Not strange. I totally agree.

Knowing that there are people out there like me has helped me immensely. You said in a post on another thread that my story is very similar to yours. I'm glad. There are others in this group with similar tales who comforted me and made me feel less like a freak. Now you know you're not the only one, and hopefully that knowledge will continue to add a measure of reassurance as you get through each day. It has for me.
