Alcholism
05/07/15 at 22:12:07 Quote This is a serious subject for once. Might be too serious/depressing for some, but I'm trying to reach out and figure this shit out.

My girlfriend left me and took her family with her. She has a little boy I took in as my own and fell in love with and she is currently pregnant with my first child.

We obviously had some issues, nothing too serious, or so I thought. My life revolved around taking care of these two day in and day out. It was my drive in life.

So now I've lost my home and my family and I'm living in a cramped house full of people I don't want to be around, but its that or the streets.

As the title suggest I've taken to drinking to try and sooth the ache, but it only works so much. It ends up in drinking more and more because the same amount cannot suppress the feelings anymore.

It gets worse at work when I can't drink. I find myself getting angry and unmotivated.

Worst of it is I'm missing all of the pregnancy. It may not be special to some people, but it is to me. She's a very strong independent woman and I'm codependent and I know I am. So I'm having way more issues with this.

I've tried distracting myself, keeping myself busy, playing games, hanging out with friends, but it just creeps in and infects you like a disease.

Heartache is a bitch when you've loved someone for 10 years.

I just need some advice, or a good laugh, something to curb the urge. I'm struggling with the bottle and I'm hoping reaching out to you guys will help.

Once that baby is born I'm sure my whole world will change, if she lets me around without issue.

I'm sorry to hear that man! D: I can't give any advice because I myself haven't got into any situations like that, but I can only say this : No matter what situation you're in, drinking or taking drugs will always result in disastrous results. I know I might sound like one of those guys who try to make you stay away from drugs in school, but I'm serious, I've seen people lose their lives to these.

I'm not really good at solving issues like this, but I felt like I needed to reply something, to at least try to help. What I know for sure helps is sleep, get plenty of it, it helps by powering your body and making you forget those things, at least it does for me when I have problems.

First off, she has no legal right to keep you from your kid. Assuming that when you go to court you can prove that you are ok to be in his/hers life.

Which is where the drinking could screw you over.

For your sake and your future kids sake, do something to stop drinking. AA is always a great start.

And just remember, we all love you (no homo.) You are a pretty cool dude. I don't think any of us has a problem with you venting if you need to.

Get better, and we are ALL rooting for you.

oh man Adonael pull through man, yeah i have a cousin in a similar situation too he feels angry all the time too and so he works out in a rage to cope with it, he's allowed to see his 3 kids and that's good but in the process he has to see the woman he loves and i think that's the toughest part- And Yeah don't resort to drinking that just makes everything worse,yeah like knuckles said you could still see your kid just knock it off with the drinking. Be strong man i think your gonna have to fight to be independent i think that should be your goal Which is hard as hell but you could at least try but according to Yoda there is no try So Just Do it man! i hope the best for ya man

Only thing I can say is what I always tell my friends when they are down is that you have to take care of yourself because you have a kid's life you want to be a part of. Don't let drinking ruin that. Fight this.
