Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.
Here are two good threads to start:

Build a good support network. Recovery cannot be done alone. Be gentle with yourself. Go to as many meetings as you need to. We have to work as hard in recovery as we did in addiction.

I’m woth you on the mum guilt, my children have asked me so many times to stop and I’ve had to be very honest with them today, if it wasn’t for my kids and husband then I couldn’t even start to try

If you’re looking for something on message to keep you occupied, have a go at the podcast below. If you like it there are over 300 of them, which will keep you busy for a while. Whenever I feel myself going the wrong way, I just stick on one and it helps me.

I understand the guilty feelings, to love ur kids so much and know u are hurting them but it still be so hard to stop. I got my first steps into sobriety with the Alcohol Experiment, u can find by google, 30 days of videos and homeworks to help u quit. Good luck however u go about it.
