Rosey...I am SO PROUD of you!
I knew you could do it. I can't even describe how happy I am for you right now.
Never forget that we (me especially) will all be here for you every second of every day if you need to talk. Talk about having a sponsor!
I would tell you my ims and mail are open....but, hell, you already know that!
Love You!

Dear Rosebud, I think you are showing an amazing amount of courage. You have made a big step in admitting you have a problem. I wish you the best & will be sending good thoughts your way. Addiction is a terrible thing, I have been through it myself & know how difficult it is. hang in there & remember that many people are wishing you well. Sending a big (((hug))) your way!
Rosebud I really don't know what to say, I have never been in this situation before.
You know how I feel about you, and you know that I'm here for you always. I know that you have the people that you are close to and I know that they are always there for you. I hope that you know that I am here for you also.
All my love to you, keep your chin up. My best advice would be to look around you, see all the love, and accept any hugs that you may recieve. Hugs are sometimes the best medicine.
I don't know if I have ever told you this ... My Mum works with a lovely lady from Scotland, she is married but with no children ... Yes she loves kids, but they never got round to having any. They both started drinking a number of years ago, and have never stopped. As time went on the drinking became worse, there is no comunication in the relationship, and as far as anyone can see NO love whatsoever. Anyway .... Things became worse until one night she disapeared, just vanished, not to show up at work and not to let any friends know where she was. One week later she came back, but it made her husband realise that the drinking and no love in the house was wrecking not only her life but his too. Everyone thought the drinking had stopped (which by the way she also did at work), until 2 months later the same thing happened. She disapeared and he had no clue as to where. When she returned she dicided that enough was enough and packed her bags for Scotland. She is now ready to move back to her home to be with her mother, to where she knows there is unconditional love. I just hope to hell she finds it because she deserves it. I don't know if her having children may have helped or not, but she was missing something along the way, something she is now searching for, Love.
Rosebud, my thoughts are with you, as they always are. Like I said if you need me I'm here. I know that people don't always want to talk about their problems, or if they do they want to do it with people they trust fully, so if you want to pick on someone or joke about things, you know where I am. Feel free to pick on this silly sausage anytime babe (LOL).
Good Luck
You are on my mind Rosebud.

((((((((((BIG BIG HUGGS)))))))))))) to Rosebud
Someone brought up the question of courage and what it was a few threads ago. It was mostly concerning war and what one would do. You have answered the question of courage in the most sublime way. Alcoholism tore up my family, and what it has torn asunder will never be put to right. No one in my family has ever had the strength to admit their addiction. Your courage and strength is inspiring. In the future, when you are down, remember that you have already passed the hardest part, acknowledgement, and that you are truly strong, good, and wonderful. Be happy sweetie, you deserve it.

Wow. Once again, I feel very lucky. I have absolutely no experience with alcoholism at all. From reading all the personal stories on this thread, I think I appreciate my nice, boring, nondrinking family upbringing a lot more than I did a few minutes ago.
I wish you the best of luck in beating your demon. Will you continue to post to let us know how you are doing? You've had a lot of offers of email, IM, etc. to give you support if you need it (mine included, by the way). Don't forget the bb is also always here for instant support, day or night. Some of us never leave it seems (it is our own addiction....)

Courage, strength, Fight, fight, fight.... and if you usually have Jack and coke buy rasberry and use that instead of Jack.
I hope you win the war babe...
Take care

I can't pretend to know what lies ahead of you. I, like Cheyenne, have never had an alcoholic in my family or among my friends. But I know that you will need a good deal of inner strength to deal with your future. Best of luck to you. You have friends who are willing to help you. Let them help.

i wish you nothing but bet wishes. Good luck with your addiction. remember we care about you and let us know if we can help...
I do not really know you Rosebud, but I would also like to offer my support. My last relationship ended mostly due to his (ex-boyfriend and the father of my son) drinking.
You have a long hard road ahead of you, and you will need the support of both family and friends (your real family, and the family/friends you have here).
I congratulate you on this very important first steps you have made.

Oh this really hurts and much more than you could know. It (the drinking problem) is a problem on my dad's side. My favorite cousin has pancreatic cancer from boose and pills. He still goes on a binge every once in awhile and I go drinking with him. I love him too much to let him go alone.
I care about you too and wish that I could be there to help with the rough times ahead. I know that your sweetie takes good care of you but it can be nice to have someone else to lean on or get mad at when life is acting like a rollercoaster. Damn you are making my eyes water girl. After Jade finds her dogs I will send Zeke over to play guide dog on the nights that you feed the monkey.
I know that I am hard to catch this summer but email me and check yours tonight.
