Thank you for sharing your post. It is awful to read, and I really hope there has been improvements in the years since you wrote it.
This could be me if I carried on. I've had various problems over the years. But I can change and be aggressive if I get too drunk, and there is no way of knowing when or if that will happen. I'm a really good person sober and I have two kids that are my world. I am 40 this year, and the blackouts seem to happen more regularly. They won't anymore because I have stopped drinking for good. It's been 5 weeks now, might not seem very long but I do have strong will, and I can stay off it. The beginning is the hardest part.
Being nearly 40, I look back at the times I've messed up my life. Alcohol has been at the route of almost every time. I do not want to lose my precious children. Your post is heart breaking, but it is also a shock and a warning to others like me. I can see this is how I could go, or worse. One blackout and who knows what I could do. It's terrifying. It feels a bit boring now, with no alcohol but I know, it's over for good. I will find other ways to enjoy myself. I do have plenty of hobbies. Thank you for being honest. Wishing you and your family the very best xx blessings
