I have a virtual counciling group set to start in early September and have been in the works with my dr to get a couple prescriptions to help. I've recently quit a job at a liquor store because it made it so much harder on my trying to quit, or at least cut back significantly.
Ive noticed skin issues flaring, pain in my stomach and (could be somewhat from not lifting and walking so much (I'm now a stay at home mom with online elementary school for 2 wonderful kids), possible signs of neuropathy in my legs and feet. Its terrifying as I have 2 young children and a good husband and family. And after 19 (technically 18 when it happened) years together we're in our own house rather than renting!
My parents both drank for a long time around me, pretty sure my first drink was before I was 5 and remember slamming the rest of my dads beer before i was even 10 while clearing the dinner table. 35 nearly 36 having these issues is absolutely scaring me. Probably my kids and husband too. My husband never quit drinking while I was pregnant and if anything amped it up with family members which didn't help.
Looking for prayers and support if anyone has been in a similar situation. Trying sooo hard to take steps. Thanks for reading if you did!
