Alcoholic and Starting A Family

Nikki92

When do I know it's ok to start a family.  My husband and I really want to start a family but I am scared I will return to my drinking at some point in the pregnancy.  So do I wait until I find a magic moment in my recovery where I feel it would ok to get pregnant or do I go ahead and get pregnant and pray that God helps me through those difficult times and staying sober.  


Today I am 45 days sober.  Not sure if I can stay sober for 9 months with a baby inside me. I know I need to trust myself and pray for help.


Thanks for listening.

Hi Nikki,

Congrats on the pregnancy. Even though it is scary, it is also exciting news!

When I was pregnant I found staying sober to be relatively easy. After I gave birth and stopped breast feeding my drinking got out of control again. Just something to watch out for...

Take care of yourself and you will be taking care of your little one too.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and your sobriety, Nikki! I firmly believe that whatever your past may be, with the power of God on your side, you can start a new chapter, a new legacy for yourself and your child. I’m so proud of your achievement so far! Sending prayers for you, asking the Lord to bless you with a safe and healthy pregnancy. I’ll also pray that He will continue to fight for you and sustain you with His strength in the coming days. ((Hugs))

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
