I'm ashamed to admit I'm quite ignorant when it comes to alcoholism, but I found out today that a boy in the same class as my 9 year old son lost her life this weekend as a result of alcoholism and its really got to me.
For those of you battling, keep strong. No family should have to go through what that family are facing tonight.
Do you mean the mother of a boy in your son's class?
Sorry yes, the mother of a boy. Not thinking straight clearly.

At the end of the day, no amount of posting on a forum and talking shite to people will help you.
You have to want to stop, you have to take that step yourself, nobody can make that step for you. If you want to drink you will, if you want to drink and its your life you will, if you really dont want to drink anymore the only person who can make that decision is YOU.
If i was you i would go asap to my Doc and speak truth to him and i mean the truth. Alcoholics are notorious devious liars and if you are an alchy you will be a liar and devious ****. yes it hurts but you will be.
If you relly want to stop the downward spiral, if you really want to and if you are fucking brave enough and bear in mind most alcholics are fucking wankers with no will and no sense of place or honour you will have possibly the hardest months of yor life.
If you are brave enough to say i will not drink again, i will support you and i think many on here will do so too. If you chose the wankers route of drink drink drink you will no doubt end up with few friends and just hurt the people who love you most.

Alcoholic parents are a disgrace imo.
My mum is an alcoholic, and my upbringing was shit because of this directly.
It left me totally unprepared for the world.
I do not see her nor do i wish to, i'm not bitter she made her life choices and i'm making mine. Her bday cards get returned to sender and her number is blocked on my landline and mobi. Facebook requests rejected etc etc.
It is not a price i am extracting from her, simply i resent her for her selfishness.
I do not want her to keep trying for contact.
She reminds me of shit times in my life, nothing but shit and suffering shit due to her liking the booze to much.
If i ever have kid's they will never suffer i did.
She has it under control now and thats nice for her, it is, i just wish she had when i was a kid who needed his mum.
It did help me be very self sufficient and independant though :)

For someone that suffers as much as you do from illness, that was a very cold and inaccurate post.

All respect to people who actually reach out and realise they have a problem with the ale. My mum died in 2005 of multiple organ failure due to alcohol. She never wanted to stop.
Had a problem for a few years with going out and being a proper wanker off the beer, culminating in me nearly losing my future wife and our unborn daughter. Sort help and was the best decision I ever made. Was never an alcoholic but attended a few AA meetings to see where I would be in 5 years if I carried on the way I was.
Now I drink in complete moderation and never in the home. Still love going out and getting shitfaced, just have the correct head on and know when enough is enough. If you know you have a problem and you need help there are literally hundreds of paths you can take to seek the help you need. If you want PM me and I will give you the number for the guy that came and picked me up and took me to AA, off his own back, in his own time, now one of my closest friends.
