My husband and I separated about two years ago. During the separation I started drinking, nightly. I didn't notice that it was a problem until I realised that I was going out of my way each night to go buy my booze from different stores so that people didn't notice.
I don't get the DTs or anything in the day, but I sure am ready for a drink come night time. The trouble is that I have a young child.
She needs better than that. I need help.

You need to realise the effect its going to have on your young child. Once you realise that quitting wont be a much difficult thing for you. Atleast thats what I think.

Quitting is hard, for anyone. No matter your motivation. Drying out from alcohol can even be fatal, it is very tough on the body. And before I can face that I have to have care arranged for my daughter so that I can go into the hospital for four or five days.
It is not just a matter of will power.

It's never easy! specially if you've started to numb your feelings.. it's not easy.. i know it... My cousin tried hard to quit but couldn't! the doctor gave him antabuse (http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s349-s-ANTABUSE.aspx) but it made him worse as even a little perfume containing alcohol made him sick... it's so sad!

Yes, i indeed think it can be hard recovering, it is best to just try and stop your self from buying them, one way you can make your self hate alcohol is to think of all the bad factors that alcohol can do to you and maybe you will keep those notes in your head the next time you buy alcohol.

I dont think it is very easy to recover from alcoholism as most of the people do not have strong will power to recover and they just end up in relapsing.

I had read a little about antabuse and it had made me curious. I would think that along side it you would need meds to help you deal with the DTs, and sleep loss and so on, but it seems like it would be a help.

You started drinking after your speration. Was it that stressful or did you not want the seperation to occur. You need to address what caused you to start drinking to begin with and then look at the affects it is has made in your life and how it affects your children.

Although the medication might be benficial to you, if you do not want to have to take it for prolonged periods of time then you need to make sure that you get the help you need to combat the issues at hand.

Many a people are simply ashamed of asking for help which I do not think right. They think they would be considered inferior and as having no control over themselves if they ask for help.

I agree with you that most of the people do not ask just because they are ashamed of asking help. they don't understand that they are asking for help for themselves and they will not get inferior if ask for help.

Exactly thats the biggest reason you have to quit alcohol. I think there could nothing better then this inspiration and you should try to do it for your child. Best of luck!!

Defenitelly the girl should not see you drinking , it can have a very bad impact on her, why don`t you try to search some help with a concellor or just make an appointment to a support group.?
