Hi Ive just discovered this forum. My whole life has been affected by drink, I have 2 children 10 years apart with 2 different parents who have decided fatherhood is not for them from the age of 2. I have got over the bitterness of never having a life of my own but I still struggle daily with alcohol & I feel so alone. I have two brothers who both have there own lives to lead & havent a clue or are intereted about me. I am totally at a loss as to how I can ever have a life of my own. I have felt so lonely for such a long time & I think i just drink to eradicate how I feel. I was wondering if anyone feels like me

Hi LuluGirl, i know how you feel and so do lots of other people on this thred..I used to drink to mask the way i feel too, but you're just adding a hangover to it all really. I am stopping drinking alone in the flat as i am on my own, no kids, and i don't think its a good habit to have.
It's hard when you are on your own but in my case i have my job, which keeps me sane ( or insane depending on my mood LOL! )

Have a read through all of the previous posts you are sure to find something of interest. And keep posting even only once a day. I really find it helps.

Have you been to see your GP? they can help. Are you working?

Hoping to hear more

Welcome. You are not alone. Just want to say I am in the same place for different reasons. Bringing up two children alone is honestly one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Buck stops here. It's so easy to reward yourself with a drink in the evening.
This lot will help you through

Morning all,

Lulugirl, welcome to the thread :wave: sorry you are feeling so alone, this is common when you are battling with alcohol, it's a very lonely place to be. I live with my husband and 3 kids and it's normally bedlam in my house most of the time but I feel lonely too, that's what the alcohol is making me feel. Not just necessarily when I'm drinking it, but the following day to, it dampens everything. As Mollypolly just said, read back a bit, stick around with us and get all the help you can get to give you something else in your life rather than drinking. Well done for posting

MP, at last, she's back I need you!

Fay, bon voyage :wave: I hope you can still text me from France? MP managed to text me from sunny spain

Waiting patiently for DD2's cake to be delivered, hope it hurries up, I've got to go out soon :eek:
