Hi Darkside, I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're trying to be sober.

I'm sorry your husband isn't more supportive, but if you need to do this for someone other then yourself, do it for your daughter. My mom just went back to rehab because of her drinking. It's just so devestating for a child to watch their parents drink; and it has damaged me more then a little. The children of a alcoholic usually blame themselves for their parents' problems. And worse, it will teach them that drinking will solve their problems. But if you quit, you'll be teaching her a much healthier and happier way to live!

Trust me I know how hard this is for you, and I'm happy you're trying so hard. It will get easier, especially now that you have the support of everyone here. Just keep telling yourself that you're doing it for your daughter, she needs you to be strong so she can learn to be strong.
