Such a rollarcoaster ride I swear :/

So day 7 begins for me I had a horrible day yesterday, my mind was in a thousand different places, I didnt wanna go anywhere yesterday but my one and only niece that complety admires me 7th bday was yesterday so I forced myself out yesterday, knowing good and well my family would be drinking and having a great time. Well I didnt wanna be a drag on everyone but u no being with my family yesterday I cryed my ride home. Let me tell u I blocked everyone out so long that I realized how much I missed spending time with everyone... Had a couple drinks calmed me down Im not a drinker by no means but it helped a lil nothing crazy just 3 glasses of ameratto an OJ.. I woke up today saying its a New Year and U are DRUG FREE. The lil things in life get me through each day :) I can feel a good day today... I so thank this site for being here if it wasnt for this site my mom would have never known I mean I finally told her last night oh did she wanna kill me but we laughed and cryed and let me tell u that so helped to finally tell her.. Gotta love my mom Im 35 and still love to tell my mom everything well finally I did :))

You did a good thing by coming clean (no pun lol) with your mom! I am 40 (yuck I hate saying that) and I just told my mom about my addiction and all the struggles I have had with it for years. She is sick and so I was so scared of telling her and thinking she would be disappointed in me and pass on with that disappointment but she wasnt! She higged me and told me she loved me, and then went into mom mode and took charge! She has been a rock to me through this, even wth everything she is going through!

The point being, Moms love us and want to be there for us even when we think we are too old to need them anymore. We always do! They dont want to see their babies suffer in anyway. Sure, they may be upset or even disappointed in the beginnning but at the end of the day we are still their babies and they will hold our hands when we need them to.

Day 7 is great! Your letting your secret out! I see big things for you in 2013! :) Good job!

Day 7 is awesome!  I'm not liking this rollercoaster much either.  I can't stand having no energy, but still pushing ahead!
