Hi there. I just wanted to thankyou for reading my blog, and commenting on it. Thankyou for all of your positive words. You are in Indiana, Im right on the border. (chicago) I go there sometimes. Anyway... yes we met really rely on ourselves and just continue to grow as loving human beings. Congrats on your sobriety. For awhile I had a bit of a hard time w/ drinking. That was when i started cutting myself again, went back to NY for a few months (had left my bf) and my grandfather died. Ive always been a drinker, but I became an everyday beer when i wake up living-to-get-drunk and blacking out kind of drinker. Things just changed when i moved back, and went a month w/o a single drink recently. I just see that as a bad period, but i was on the verge of needing help. I want to say how strong you are, and i genuinly commend you on your sobriety! if you ever need someone to talk to... come visit my DS page. Godbless and talk to you soon. My name is Amy by the way. Whats yours? =)

Close Alcoholism
i had been drinking for so long, like 15 or 20 yrs. it had pretty much consumed my everyday life. most of which wasnt good. i guess u could say things would sorta be okay for a short while and then things would go rapidly down hill. the depression that came along w/it is horrible. i have a 15 yo son, who was tired of seeing his mother constantly w/a beer in hand.ive wanted 2 change 4 a long x now and a few wks ago i did. @ least changed the drinking part. we shall c whats 2 come now!

Close Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
I am a 36 (in a matter of days!) y.o single mother of 16, soon to be 17 y.o son. he is a very smart kid, "used" to much better in school, this yr has not been easy and is quickly getting HARDER! I joined DS about 2 yrs ago, on the Alcoholic grp. I am a recovery alcoholic of nearly 1 1/2 yrs now. may not seem like much to some, but means alot to me. i could go on and on but i wont. just need some advice!!!
Treatments
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- my son is a jr. in high school now.
- Patience Not Working
- my patience have GREATLY INCREASED, altho the more they increase the more my child strives to make me LOSE them!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- did manage a few sessions with an amazing counsulor last yr. my son HATED it, doesnt enjoy or even believe in "talking" about his feelings. ( imagine that ) so it wasnt to effective.
