I can read that in your post. If you have insurance, please go to a recovery center. Please. If not please go to one meeting. My 16 y/o daughter has been sober for 2 years yesterday. If a child can do it, so can you. If you don't make it out of addiction, at least your babies will know you tried.

Sorry if this is lecturey. Been thinking about recovery a lot on this anniversary. Best wishes and love,
