After a lot of consideration and thought, this is going to be my last post on this blog.I first started this blog as an avenue for me to document my third journey of recovery. I remember starting it, thinking, I wonder if anyone will even read this? After a few weeks, I discovered they did. The following year and few months have been nothing short of miraculous.  Read more >

Three Hundred and Sixty Five days. Day at a time. One foot in front of the other. Sometimes hard. Sometimes easy. What more is there to say?I really don't want this to be about me, I just want to say to anyone reading this who thinks they may have a problem with alcohol or knows that they do but can't stop - don't give in. You are so worth it. Life isn't easy, but it can be OK.  Read more >

Her name was Christine. Born into a tough family, her mother took her own life when she was just ten years old. Christine found her one day, dead. With no time to grieve, Christine became the rock her sister and father relied on. Her first job was in psychiatric nursing, caring for people who no one understood, more or less cared about. After experimenting with sex, drugs & alcohol, like most at her age, she fell pregnant at the young age of 20.  Read more >

Last night I was lucky enough to sit on a beautiful beach and watch the sun set. The person IAwas with made a comment at the time that we forget that things like this are here. They were right. I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched mother nature put on a show but last night I was glad I did. It also dawned on me that this show is on every night and all I have to do to see it is take the time. The next thing I am about to say may sound cheesy but it's true.  As I was sitting there I was reflecting on my life, especially the last year.  Read more >

Mothers Addicted To Alcohol

A website designed by a divorced mother of two, sharing my experiences on my journey to getting sober and staying sober

About Me: 

I am a 35 year old divorced Mum of two children who has been addicted to alcohol since I was 15 years old. Also known as an 'alcoholic', after 20 years of ups and downs I decided to create a forum for other Mum's who are, or think they are addicted to alcohol. I am not a doctor, therapist or alcohol counsellor but merely one Mum talking about my experiences of living with this addiction.
