Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I'm craving so badly it's been 2.75yrs I can't get it out of my head, but I have a son now but my head is spinning I am a single mum. I am on Antabuse. On and off . I just dont want to feel anymore
Plea help me
Plea help me
I don't mean to sound ungrateful. Cos you have tried to help so I will start to look into it today. I originally drank to overcome an abusive relationship, 10yrs later and I'm drinking out of habit but mostly out of loneliness alcohol took all my friends.
I mate my baby's dad after a year I got sober, iwent to rehab i did really well. 9months passed I relapsed, it wasn't just my fault I thought if i can prove i can go 9 months then i can be sober to carry a baby,then i found naked pics of his ex, and went into meltdown he bought me the alcohol but I'm responsible for drinking it and the consequences a nightin the cells I worked away from home for 3 weeks so drank, to be honest I dint like it it made me gag. I found more photos of the ex he told me he had put the in his mums but they were in the boot of his car. I used that as an exsuse got drunk and trashed the house. It was an expensive drunk, I had to replace the
kitchen admit I was still drinking. We decided to work it out I never
drank .I haven't had a drink now since sept 25th 2009. After the first geared tried for the baby, turned out I was carrying twins but I lost one early on.the relationship wasnt great my partner hadtwo kids from a previous relationship well 1 the other the boy had been 6months when they met. I figured my child would be treated equal but he wasnt. As long as the ex is happy with her days to he'll with me and my son. It culminated at Xmas I asked if we could spend Xmas alone just with the baby. We've been together 6 yes and every Xmas, birthday, Easter, mothers day, fathers day etc they are with us. I just wanted 1 day, so my xmas ruined then when it came going home he wouldnt let me and my son stay overnight we lived there. I had to go spend Xmas on my own with baby. His reasoning well they have a routine he won't remember. Xmas was a vulnerable time cos although I celebrated my baby I was also mourning my other baby. So I left him, moved over in my mums he did nothing to get us back. I bought a house, then i got made redundant the day I was due to go back to work. I was reasonable with child access allowing him to see the baby when he saw the other two. I let him sleep overnight provided Moses basket, when he grew out of that I provided a temp bed.he's never paid for anything in six years finally his mum got a car chair for him a few months ago. He wouldn't give me maintenance and never helped me with the house which neededa lot of work. We were trying again on and off I was going to turn a room for his two kids. But if he argues with me he doesn't show up on his days. He punishes my child for an argument with me and Slags me off in front of the baby. He only shows interest when he thinks I'm going on a date which I haven't really I went for coffee with someone. Thence shows up crying he took his eye of the ball he wants us. He stays for dinner if I will buy him beer, stays overnight and leaves first thing in morning.. I told him I'm not his mum I'm his fiancee. So now I'm a alcohol wanting to drink depresses, I think I keep him around cos I'm lonely if I'm lonely I'm scared I will drink. I'm so sorry this turned into a rant but it was useful to just say it.

That is the address of the Alcoholics Anonymous Ireland - they have details of meetings in Northern Ireland. Check it out and then get to a meeting. Who gives a shit who it has in it so long as you can get sober there? Of course there might be some people who are drunk - it's an AA meeting for heaven sake!
You aregue against everything anyone suggests - maybe you're not at that point where you will do anything to stay sober. I hope you get there soon.
Listen to Nicky - she is the most rabidly atheist I know but she got sober in AA!
