My exhusband use to beat me up, there are records and pictures. I have been involved with a man who has hit me a few times due to alcohol abuse. he has been to jail and is currently in rehab for his issues. (my ex never went to any counseling) when he gets out we are going to try to work things out. Me and my ex have 3 boys together. he recently got married to his 3rd or 4th wife, and he has recently started seeing my kids again and they threatened to take my kids away if i get back with my current bf, who i am now pregnant by. i have never been any trouble with the police, he (my ex)has had drug, abuse, dui’s, and lewd acts in public charges. but they have money and i don’t. my current bf has never harmed, spanked my kids. ironic, but he does not believe in spanking a child. does my relationship issues have anything to do with it. my kids are well taken care of, by me. a judge once told me that my ex is the protector of my kids when they are with him and i can;t tell him who 2 b wit

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can give me some advice on this. I live with my fiancée and 2 daughters, have a half decent job and my life is comfortable.
However, it started when my fiancée started to have an issue with me drinking (over the last couple of years), my family are big drinkers but hers are not. I never felt that I drank anywhere near as much as some of my family. I don’t really go out to the pub so tend to drink at home after work or on a weekend, this is about 3-4 times a week and I usually stick to drinking 4 cans of strongbow or lager. I never get violent, nasty or anything along those lines when I drink, I probably talk too much which can sometimes do her head in! But that is about as far as it goes. She asked me why I could never only have 1 or 2, it always had to be 3 or 4 and I said because I want to feel the effect of it.
On a few occasions I have stopped drinking for a few weeks to show her that I am not dependent on it and I just enjoy having a few cans a few times a week. However only yesterday she said that when I stop for a few weeks I seem to substitute the drink for something else, like energy drinks or co-codomol…basically anything that I could feel the effect of, anything that makes me feel different.
I thought long and hard about this, and although I never drink massive amounts of alcohol or energy drink or take packets of tablets at a time, I realised the issue was with having to have something that made me feel different. I thought about the obvious reasons of stress, not been happy etc, etc, but to be totally honest I have never been a massive believer in stress/depression and am not unhappy in my life, I try to make the best of everything and always think positive.
I wondered where this need to feel different came from. I don’t know if it is just a coincidence or not but 6 years ago I had a kidney stone, the pain was excruciating and I had to go to hospital for the first time in my life. They give me morphine and the way it made the pain disappear and made me feel was amazing! I was on it for a week around twice a day and on one occasion I told the doctor I had the pain again when I didn’t. So basically I took it once when I didn’t need it.
I didn’t drink as much and never took pain killers or anything like that before this. But ever since then I have liked taking things (pain killers, energy drinks/tablets etc) that made me feel good, made me forget about any worries I had or at least look at things more positively.
I know this is something I need to deal with, but what do I do? Doctors? I really feel embarrassed about it and my fiancée wants to come to the doctors with me and thinks I may need something like counselling to sort it out.
Any advice would be massively appreciated.
Many Thanks
Joe

I have a lot of suicidal emotional pain. I writhe in pain and abuse meds by mixing oxys with alcohol. I live alone and am in lots of trauma counseling. But when I am alone at home… I am suicidal. Need suggestions on how to cope with suicidal pain… I am fighting to live. I can’t just keep calling 911. It is getting expensive going to hospitals all the time. And drug overdoses knock me out… but are only temporary solutions.

I have tried so many things, but none last.
Such as:
Counseling, Medication, Legal and Illegal Drugs, Alcohol, Religions, Therapy, Hypnosis, and more.
Please help.
