I'm polluting my body with shite every evening

[PinkOrchidD]

I feel like shit. I drink, take pills (Valium and Codeine) and smoke weed every evening. I wake up feeling awful.

I have two young kids and I worry that I have to drive them to nursery and school each morning.

I really want this to change.

@PinkOrchidD

I'm very resolved tonight and have remained alcohol and Valium free. It's nice to feel ok with this.

It's not very fair to call him a waster. He's currently cooking up a feast for us after being at work all day.

That’s great but if he’s also rolling you a spliff and offering you a beer, no amount of feasting is going to help you get clean. Being a nice chilled guy is great when you have no responsibility, but when your child wakes up with a rash/fever/bad dream/ wet the bed/ goes to the toilet and slips, neither of you will be fit to respond.

How is it going @PinkOrchidD?

I'm doing ok thanks. I've been to an AA meeting which was predominantly women and feel I'm getting enough real life support so I stood back from the thread. Thank you to all the wonderful posters who gave me courage to do this. I'm rocking a ginger beer and being much more productive than I usually would on a Saturday night!

Fantastic! Good luck

Very well done Pink the fact you have recognised your problem and are taking steps to regain control is brilliant.

That's fantastic! Congratulations 🥳
One day at a time really works.

Great news @PinkOrchidD

Have a great Sunday, hangover free

Well done @PinkOrchidD sounds like you're doing great. Focus on yourself for now. You dh might become resentful of your change of ways but if he wants to change, he needs to make that decision himself. Wishing you strength for the time ahead

Fab, well done, OP. Keep on keeping on.

Developing a problem?? It's not normal to smoke weed and take codeine daily . I would seek out some help!

How are you getting on @PinkOrchidD? Hope that you're feeling good, strong and healthy in your body.
