Pregnant and want to drink

I had Gastric Bypass Oct 2004. I lost all the weight I wanted to lose and have done well. Excpet - I got divorced from my husband of 10 years and started dating a man who drank beer daily. On the weekends we would drink liquer and I became dependant. I recently found out that I was pregnant and he bailed. All I want to do is cry and drinkn until I pass out. I know its not right for the baby but I do not know how else to control these raging hormones. I cry all the time and cannot sleep. I cannot keep my mind on anything.  I have to force myself to keep driving past the liquer store. I want a happy baby but I really need some ideas on how to cope.

I have been a member of this board for a very long time but I wanted to post this in private. WHen you search my username -- all my posts come up.

Good for you for not wanting to drink while you are pregnant.  Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not pretty, and the kids really suffer for it.  You are going to feel a lot of crazy emotions for a little while.  You can learn to live without the alcohol.  It may be difficult and challenging, BUT it is not impossible.   Call Alcoholics Anonymous or go to the website.  There you will meet men and women who totally understand how you feel.  Get with the women and get phone numbers and ask them for help in stopping.   Also, ask your doctor for a referral to a therapist who can also give you some help.   Hugs, Trish
