It's a shame how the drinks led you to a wrong path quickly. Thankfully, you were able to stay on course yourself, and not only save yourself but also keep yourself from harming others. That's the tricky thing about DUIs, so it's best to stay out of its complications. <br /><br /><a href="http://khunterlaw.blogspot.com/2015/05/services-of-kent-dui-attorney-needed.html" rel="nofollow">Kim Hunter @ Kim Hunter</a>Kim Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733668529059078314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-59352599012350782452015-07-28T11:12:32.835-07:002015-07-28T11:12:32.835-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kim Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733668529059078314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-11968494822198980212015-04-25T13:24:40.353-07:002015-04-25T13:24:40.353-07:00That’s such a sad, sad story.

For those of us that try to escape and see that it can be done, that we can be free of her clutches, there are moments of extra sadness when we think of those who didn’t make it and what might have been. Thank you for sharing this.

I've tried talking to her discretely in the past and even suggested we cut down together, in the hope that she would too. After she found put her enzymes were raised she drank a lot less but it's slowly crept up. I have to be very careful what I say as she pushes me away (often). Her partner has just moved in with her who is equally bad so that doesn't help! Anyhow I can only try and help but it's my mum who needs to take the first step herself, as we all well know. Many thanks for your reply. I've found myself thinking about your friend the last few days, so tragic and shows how evil alcohol can be xNewleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009660824281426671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-86681805087397936442015-04-21T18:37:33.242-07:002015-04-21T18:37:33.242-07:00Such a sad, powerful story.

It's frightening how powerful the wine witch (or wolfie or whatever we call that 'voice') is. It turns us into strangers who do things we wouldn't normally do. And yet we continue to do it. You are doing an amazing thing for yourself and your family. I am very proud of you.

Problem is - as we all know - we all get very defensive when tackled about how much we drink ;-) When my husband was worried about me he, very cleverly, would suggest that we BOTH gave up for January, or Lent or whatever. That way I didn't get all stroppy about it. Might that work with your Mum - if you asked her to give up with you?

Memories...Such a sad story, what a waste of a life. Memories are so powerful and enable us to remember those special people who are in our lives for only a short while. Much love x i know it's not the same but I worry about my mum. She drinks every day of the week (1.5 bottles of wine daily). A few years ago her liver enzymes were raised, the doc told her to cut down which she did for a short while. She seems to have forgotten and now merrily drinks without a worry in the world. Good day - she drinks, bad day - she drinks, etc. I just hope her liver doesn't pack up before it's too late. I don't want to put blame on anyone for my drinking but she got me into it from a young age. My dad left so she drowned her sorrows, I was her drinking partner. At the tender age of 16 I was offered wine by the bucket load. Me being me, I was too polite to say no. Everyday wine would arrive without me asking. Makes me sad really. Anyhow I don't want to hijack your post. I guess I'm just saying alcohol is an evil drug that takes lives and destroys lives. Much love to you all especially SM who lost a dear friend xxNewleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009660824281426671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-32230890886028838412015-04-21T11:54:51.890-07:002015-04-21T11:54:51.890-07:00What a sad waste of a young life x I wonder how ma...What a sad waste of a young life x I wonder how many other families have similar tales it makes us know that AF is definitely the way forward x I hope your wall felt a little smaller to climb today x Kagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968875912702356428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-76697327411312459392015-04-21T07:31:56.516-07:002015-04-21T07:31:56.516-07:00That is so very poignant.

Now it's a minority. Perhaps drinking will go the same way? It already has in Los Angeles ;-) xSoberMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149651295183331661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-37725149095506565082015-04-21T03:25:17.328-07:002015-04-21T03:25:17.328-07:00Ever since I started reading your blog I have beco...Ever since I started reading your blog I have become aware that alcohol is everywhere and many people talk about it all the time. Conversation yesterday. How is the building work coming along at home? Response: oh terrible but at the end of the day there is always wine. Conversation over heard at work: did you get the job? Response: no shall we go out and get drunk? Walked into waitrose on Friday the first thing I see is a huge tower of wine bottles. So? Has it always been like this??? How when did it change?
