Tomorrow… Well today I am filing for divorce. I am of course not sleeping with a thousand things on my mind. My soon to be ex on the couch asleep. I keep telling myself I should have one drink at the end of the day… It’s going to be such a hard day. Then I think I’ve made it almost 11 days in hell with him without a drink… Help me be strong …

I can’t imagine how you are feeling. But I understand you think a drink will make you feel better. And it will…for just a moment. Then you will feel like shit because we know it doesn’t stop at just one drink. Why don’t you try looking forward to something else that you enjoy doing? Going to the gym, reading a good book, buying new makeup, a long walk, a nice drive. Just think about something you haven’t done in a while and look forward to that. If you’ve come 11 days without a drink that is a great accomplishment! Imagine how proud you will feel finishing that day knowing you are stronger than a craving. Good luck tomorrow 
be strong.

Oh lovely girl, this must be such a difficult time, I can’t imagine. What I can imagine though is how fabulous you will feel in a couple of months when you look back at this time and wonder where you got the strength to go through it. How much more amazing would it be to start this chapter of your life as you mean to go on. Why don’t you divorce alcohol at the exact same time as you divorce your husband!!! Alcohol can have full custody of all the hangovers, all the bad things said and stupid things done. You take custody of money saved, healthy body and healthy mind.

Omg this was exactly what I needed. So anxious and afraid. His been so abusive for so long and alcohol was my numbing agent. No more. I would feel horrible if Ihad even one drink.
Thanks you all.

@Kimber818 thanks for sharing. My first marriage I divorced him after almost 4 years at age 22. It was the best/healthiest decision of my life as he was also abusive/useless. Even when the marriage needs to end there is still an incredible deep sadness. Like you’ve failed in some way and are shutting a door on this part of your life forever. I had also just returned to college at the time, and even as busy as I was, I remember feeling incredibly alone and lost.
I know what you’re going through is very difficult. Keep coming here and keep taking control of your life! It gets better, and most importantly don’t drink!!

I have two beautiful babies that need all of me. So I am staying sober and leaving this relationship. I would never want them to think the way he treats me is OK…
