I've been in similar situations in the past, and at the time ending my life seemed like the easiest and best way out of the mess I had created. Luckily I've come to realize the easy way isn't usually the best way, and each day that goes by without using is another day I'm grateful for. Glad to see I'm far from alone. Thanks for sharing.

I don't want you to feel like I am judging you in anyway and if it did come across that way to you ...please forgive me. I think I was just reacting from the little child part in me that perhaps has not completely healed from the disappointment of having an alcoholic parent. Who was a wonderful lovable drunk but who was lost when it came to being a parent. My father died when I was 14 and I still miss him. I have tried my whole life to figure out the alcohol thing. I did one of my college research papers on alcoholism and once I learned that it was a disease it cleared up so many questions that I had as a child and today I can think of my father with love. I am sorry that this information was not available back then because I think if it had been, things would have worked out differently for my family and for me. I am so glad that you did not jump! Thank you for sharing. Wishing you all the best! blessings bobbi I just re-read my post and I wish I had worded it a little differently.
