I'm in my thirties. Recently found out that I'm 12 weeks pregnant. I didn't think I could get pregnant as I have never been and I haven't used birth control in 10 years. The problem is I'm an alcoholic no one can judge me more than I am judging myself I have cut my drinking down a lot but sometimes I still do and I hate myself for it. I've looked into rehab. But even that still takes time. I'm wondering if there's any help groups out there for pregnant mothers with this issue all is anyone's been through it and things are turned out ok ?
Progress report:
I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and going really well went to rehab and.been sober 6 mths.
Determined to never pick up again :-)

Discuss with your GP, your withdrawal needs to be medically managed. If you stop on your own you can start having seizures etc. your GP can help set you up with a psychologist who can help support you through this. Doing it fast although tempting is very unsafe.
Also attend some AA meetings. They have seen plenty of women in your position there.
