So my husband of a year and a half just told me he cheated on me 6 mths ago. Also he has been using coke again....says it's to lessen the guilt. He told me this because I have been telling him how unhappy I have been in the relationship. To make a long story short.....this is bad. I just fell off the wagon after 6 months of freedom and now this....oh boy. Someone please tell me things will pick up. I am so hurt I don't even feel hurt. It is really strange, I can't cry anymore, I can't sleep and yet somehow I have kept myself from drinking (well I guess my daughter has kept me from drinking) I am just worried that I am going to end up at a bar...and then back in the hospital(remember scary hospital stay) I feel ok now but my feelings change so rapidly.
when your thinking of going to the bar...STOP and think about the aftermath. Really think about it. It's not worth it is it? You need to stay strong, your daughter needs you. Everyone goes through good and bad stages of life. Somtimes it feels so horrible that you dont want to go on. But you will live through it. Just know that you will. Accept that it's bad right now, and that it will not be bad forevor. Things WILL get better.
I am at rock bottom. Drank yesterday, hangover today; same old story. Embarrased my 14 year old son in front of his friend yesterday. Argued with my husband again, blaming him for my life problems. Alcohol has always been my crutch through thick and thin. I am a closet drinker. Today I am announcing defeat. Alcohol is running my life and it is the pits. Please offder some advice.
you life will only improve if you don't drink thats a guarantee and it will only get worse if you carry on , i know i drank yesterday and I feel s*** and I know I can have a better way of living lets do it together just for today . goodluck. Debs
Deborah, it was so good to hear from someone on the same journey. I called Adiction Services today to set up an appointment. I just hope I can keep it up. Dont have much time to talk tonight, however, will reply when I visit the centre tomorrow. Lets do it together, it can only get better. I joined Weight Watchers tonight as well. I think food is an addiction as well, so it I can manage my food intake the alcohol will hopefully improve as well. Talk soon.

I sure do sympathize with your struggles. I have a friend who was in the same situation, and he finally was able to get control. He used a natural supplement, and that's helped him tremendously. It's called natural high, and I have some samples if anyone wants to give it a try. Free. No strings attached--no scam. I just want to HELP people who are addicted.
