Loosing someone can be hard and understandable picking but like u said eventually we loose ourselves in the drinking or using

I feel like a failure also but we are not. We know that we have a problem and that's a big victory.

I'm really sorry for your loss Danielle. I can't imagine what that must feel like and I probably don't want to. I went through two relationships in my life before I finally got sober. They were both alcoholic relationships and they were both destined to fail. I stayed by myself for a lot of years trying to learn who I am before I finally met my current wife. We've only been married for a little over two years and I really believe that she is the first one that I've truly loved.

You see I didn't understand when I was younger that love is not always something you feel but rather a decision that you make. I don't know what I would do if I lost her. Having those feelings for my wife, I can only Imagine the hurt you must feel right now in your life.

The only thing I can tell you that I do know is regardless of what your problem or problems are don't believe for one second that picking up a drink is going to help matters any because it won't. Please try to find some sober friends in the program and get to as many meetings as you can because you really need this program and those people right now more than ever. Please heed my advice. Your kids need you now more than ever. And even though I don't know you personally, myself and the rest of the people in the program need you.
