I'm sorry you have to go through that, it can't be easy. Do you have a support system at home?? The only thing I can suggest is stay with us and stay strong and take it a day at a time. It's like everything else in life. Take it a breath at a time. We'll be here with you and for you. =)

A lot of women alcoholics are able to quit drinking when they are pregnant. it's pretty common. So is quitting when undergoing chemo. You can do this.

As you say, you have no choice, so time to get started! You might want to discuss it with your doctor if you think you need a medical detox or need a week to get over the physical addiction before you begin the antibiotic treatments.
