One thing after another...

I don't want sermons, or moralising thank you.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant, and whether or not you agree with abortion, at least I've got that avenue open to me. I may not take it, but it's MY decision.

The thing is, I've been an alcoholic for nearly 10 years now. I've stopped drinking now I know I'm pregnant. I would never drink and harm another life that had no choice in being created.

I'm also homeless and currently living in a hostel. I have no family and the father doesn't want to know.

I have no support, but I can get through this whatever I decide. All I'm wondering is, does it ever get easier to quit drinking?

I'm no expert on anything, and I've never withdrawn from alcohol.

my opinion is that it probably gets somewhat easier when you have cleansed your system. i think you would have less cravings the longer you have been sober.

Yes, it does get easier. Through AA and NA I've been given a life beyond my wildest dreams. I've had few problems with anything for years. But, it took a while to get better. When I stopped drinking, my drinking and drugged had created problems in every area of my life. Eventually, I fixed the car, fixed the leaky roof, fixed the job, and fixed the marriage. All of our problems do not go away the instant we stop drinking. However, at meetings you will meet people who understand and who have been thrrough similar things.

Good Luck,
Jim S
