Hi there - sounds like you are going through a lot right now. I know that alcohol makes the pain feel more manageable and i can understand the need to want to manage the pain or the difficulties in your life. That said, consuming alcohol while pregnant is not advised by medical professionals. I am wondering if you could speak to a trusted adult, guidance counselor at school, friend or anyone who may be able to support you right now. Finding other ways to manage the pain and challenges you are facing may be helpful during this time. First step is talking about it acknowleding where you are right now and what changes youd like to make.
You are very strong. I wish you the very best.
Hi there. It must be very hard for you right now. I was pregnant as a teen but I did not start drinking until my 20's. I was however using a lot of drugs before geting pregnant but I was able to stop once I was pregnant. How far along are you? I hope that you are doing well and taking care of yourself. Sending hugs
