Until this evening I had not drank since New Years Eve.
Lately I've noticed a lot of anger within me. I find it uncomfortable. But I have been remaining positive and enjoying sobriety. This afternoon I found work stressful. I came home and as I was parking my car I could hear my wife screaming inside the house. It turns out my 13 year old son has been getting into trouble again. He has autism and ADHD. He has messaged a girl at school on Instagram, threatening to rape her. We have left a message with the social worker and are going to speak to her tomorrow. I have taken his tablet device and mobile phone off him and given them to my mother. I have been finding my mother harder and harder to get on with. But our son threatened us with a mallet and I am worried that if he knows the devices are around the house it will cause trouble. I played games for a bit and went out for a drive. I rang a crisis helpline (the Samaritans). It is just not enough. So I bought a bottle of cherry vodka. I thought it would be nice but unfortunately it is not. I can try and get back on the wagon tomorrow. But what do I do if this happens again??? Its such a *****. |

Damn, I'm surprised you had the time to even say all of this on an internet forum. My ex-girlfriend's brother has severe Asperger's, and his mom has to watch over him like a hawk. I hope the best for you and everyone else, it's the best a stranger on the internet can do for you, mate!

We all have slip ups from time to time...The most important thing is to NEVER give up Giving up.
As with the dealing with pent up stress and searching for a release, maybe start by getting yourself a bicycle. Cycling not only frees us, but also allows us 'time out' to focus on our breathing and an opportunity to contemplate 'Where to from here?'

The bicycle one is a good idea Quarter life, although I am obese so it might be difficult.
