Alcohol
I am a mom of 2 amazing son’s, whom at one point in my life got neglected because I was so unhappy in my relationship. At the time I only knew how to cope with my unhappiness with drinking a 40 of rye a week. I was extremely depressed and at time felt like I’d rather die then life how I was living. I even thought about starting to cut myself as a cry for help. Thankfully I never did! Neofacs was involved with my family to try and help me and the kids be safe, I also spent sometime in the mental health department to try and help my depression and I was starting to do better then they let me out on a trial basis to see how I’d do. It didn’t take long for my ex to bump me back 10 steps that I got ahead during my stay at the hospital. That’s when I realized it was my relationship that was the cause, however I had no friends or family in the town we moved to and I felt so alone. It wasn’t until my brother passed away and my ex refused to take me back home to say good bye to him, he didn’t even try to get the time off work. So on our next trip back home I did not return with him and the kids and I stayed with my mom until I could find an appointment and I was able to have booze in my freezer for months and not even want to drink it. I found the cause of my drinking and took care of it and my urge to drink went with it. I raised my kids as a single mother and they are such amazing young men I am so proud of them. I had completely lost who I was as a person in that relationship and needed many years of counseling to heal and grow but now I went back to high school got my grade 12 diploma then went to college to get my diploma in the Social Service Worker program and graduated with honours with the most amazing man supporting me and showing me how healthy love should feel like.
