    Hi, I am addicted to alcohol for last 10 years. I am a mother of a 1-year-old baby. The only time I quit drinking was during the pregnancy time. Even during my pregnancy, I was excited about having a drink after delivery instead of the newborn. I had my first drink after the delivery at the hospital itself. But now I feel guilty about all those things. The worst part of my life is that I had just breastfed my boy only for 2 months, as I want to drink. I know that it was very bad of me to do that. Now I feel that I want to get rid of this drinking habit and take care of my boy. But I am not able to do that. I tried reducing the consumption of alcohol, but my mind is not able to. I want my kid to have a bright childhood. For that, I should quit drinking. How can I make it? One of my friends suggested an alcohol addiction treatment from a clinic in Toronto. Will that help me? Is there any need for hospitalization for this addiction treatment? Is there any medication required? will this medication affect breastfeeding? Please give me some valuable replies.

    Hey there dear friend. How are you doing? I hope everything is fine at your end. I am really sorry to hear that you are battling such dangerous addiction. I have seen it many times before. A very close friend of mine has the very same issue. She says that she'd rather die than spent 24 hours sober. That is really bad for her health. It is devastating even for us around her you know... There is nothing we can do to help. She can't stay away from the bottle. Little does it matter that she wants to quick so very much.

    I think that you should try therapy. Although the general belief is that it doesn't usually work... What other options are there. I would say things like do it for your child but that would be super dumb. I know you love you baby. It's just that you are dealing with a monster as we speak... Wish you luck dear. God bless you.
