Hi Tina

Just bump your post - like you have - and people will see it on the active list again and reply if they can help.

Hi Tina
Sorry you're feeling so bad at the moment.I'm sure you're not useless to your partner and children,it's just how you're feeling at the moment.
If your feeling depressed and/or anxious may be you should give cbt/counselling another go.If it helped last time.
Drinking always seems to heighten the feelings you have at the time therefor it could make you feel more down especially the next morning.I know I always have bad anxiety the next morning if I drink when my anx is high.
Try and get out and about a bit if you can,even if it's just to the shops.I know it's easy to lock yourself away when you feel depressed.
Remember these feelings will pass,you've done it before and you can do it again

Hi Tina,

Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time at the moment. But try not to give yourself a hard time. Everyone's allowed to feel a bit down after a slip up or setback, but it gets better. Remember, there's no end of help, and there are no end of people here if you need to get things off your chest. Sometimes, it just takes time. Congratulations of giving up the drinking. That takes a lot of strength, something to be proud of.
