Hi, this past Sunday I finally hit rock bottom and decided it was time to quit. I cleaned all day, only ate breakfast and went to take a friend out so she could get away from the hospital
My husband stayed at the hospital with her husband and we went around the corner to grab food and drinks. I only had a few fries and a couple glasses of wine because hubby asked me to wait to eat dinner with him. I dropped her off and we went back to the same restaurant with our son to eat. However, I didn’t eat. We bumped into friends and I sat and had more wine until I couldn’t walk and got sick at the table and all the way home. This is not my normal behavior when I drink. I can go weeks and months without any drinking. I was sober all 3 pregnancies and after while I nursed. However, I have noticed that in certain Social situations I drink more and I am scared. My ex and current husband are drinkers. I come from a family that have always drank. I know they won’t stop and my mom told me yesterday not to label myself.
I am on day 3 and am confident I can get through the weekend, but the next few weeks will be tough with social events.
