getting over being an alcoholic

when my bf met me i was into drugs and alcohol like no ones business. he went 3 month into the relationship having me smurf up like crazy and got my smurf straight. at 6 months we were expecting and now have our beautiful son. =/ we did have good times drinking but now its not the same. i can feel him getting frustrated with me every time we do. its just been a mixture of being worn down to the core trying to be the best mother i can be, study for my ged, get another job, and really get things together. im literally an open book, just written in illegible handwriting... im starting to just stay silent when smurf hits the fan.

So, are you an alcoholic, or is he? I'm confused.

I'm a little confused.

There's support groups for families of alcholics. Al anon (sp). How old is your LO

It sounds like shes still trying to overcome it.

This! I think the bf is getting mad at her for drinking. We need more details to the situation. But OP if you cannot control your drinking you should look into getting treatment at least out patient. You now have a lo who needs you & the alcohol is not worth it if its affecting your relationship & caring for your child

I don't think alcoholism is something you "get over". Addictions are something you will always deal with. There are a lot of great programs around to give you the tools needed to be able to do so. You should definitely talk to a counselor if you're struggling. Support is the most important thing to get control of your addiction.

yeah i think i'll have to look into treatment because i just shouldn't be drinking at all. thanks for the advice everyone.
