I was sober for a long time. After my wife had a child we moved across the country to be near family and I’ve been sneaking alcohol dxm in low amounts for the past few weeks. Her mom came to visit today and I went overboard and got too drunk to where it was noticeable. Now she has told her mom about everything I’ve done in the past and is sleeping away from me with my daughter and cat in a separate room with her mom.

I’m so ashamed and screwed right now. I love my family more than I love chemicals of course. It’s just that I was in between jobs (start my next job on Monday) and fucked up my choices of what to do with idle time. Any advice on how to get things back to normal? I’m already stopping drinking and dxm of course.
