How do I stop the control
Yes ur so correct!!! Wow and this is exactly what I do. But I just wish the thought would go
You might want to consider either a detox or look into an inpatient rehab program if you are struggling to stop on your own with just attending meetings. Lots of us need professional help in the beginning to get us started on the right foot.

Thank you. I was thinking this but last year I ended up pregnant! Obviously I couldn’t do it and for the first time ever I felt free. I was at my happiest but sooner it got to Labour Day in my mind I was thinking lots of things and also to keep going. After birth few months on I did well but then the voice thought in my head. And quick actions was like just try it. I did and. I did 10 months clean. Why have I ruined it all. Why can I not get out of it. It’s not like I’m hanging with friends because I’m home most of the time but the thought and needing to get it quickly quickly

I understand. I know first hand that becoming a mom does not equal instant guaranteed sobriety even if everyone thinks it should somehow magically happen that way . With both my pregnancies I stayed sober enough to have healthy babies but the first stop on the way home from the hospital was the liquor store and not long after that there would be people coming by with drugs. My kids are now almost 15 &10 and I’m only just approaching 5 months sober . Though they have never been abused or anything they have also seen things they should never have had to witness. Mostly me blackout drunk or on multiple day benders fuelled by coke. No child should have to see mom tripping over herself after being up 2 days straight on booze and drugs. I have lots and lots to repair with them now . I am only sharing this here with you to hopefully encourage to please do whatever you need to do to get clean and sober now while your child is still too young to remember all this and not make the same mistakes I have. I seriously wish you the best with this and hope you find what you need to really get this started

Yes currently starting been to a few
If it’s a child care issue stopping you from doing inpatient maybe look into what out patient programs are possible ? Maybe more meetings and just make sure you give them 100% and staying connected with everyone here ? It’s not easy and it won’t work if you aren’t ready to completely commit yourself to doing this but it will be worth it .
