Alcohol self help thread II

i think he is impressed at my resolve as he asked if i wanted a sip, i said no way, not a sip, it starts then:) he is drinking his bottle by himself and he will finish that, does he have a problem? i dunno sometimes i think yes othertimes no, but in the end only he can decide.:) I dont think he understands i have a problem both his parents were drinkers, especially his mum. When you are surrounded by drink its hard to judge. I have another problem in that most of our married life and before i was/am bulimic.(it never goes) so he is more worried about that than anything. I think i have a very addictive personality, thank god i never found the joys of gambling. I dont think we would have anything left:)

You sound like you are doing amazingly well and you are right only he can decide
I too think I have an adictive personality, I did find online gambling shocked myself into giving up luckily.

Its hard to talk about but things happen when your young drinking eating disorders, well they started for me young. They then just grow and like al said you reach a point that is rock bottom and you want to stop. I am really happy now i dont want to go back to that misery. Last sunday i thought i had reached rock bottom again i dont want to go back to that. As you all dont want to. My self esteem is huge now compared to what it was and drinking only makes me lose that. I know you understand

alcohol is a depressent and the more i was drinking the worse i was feeling, and i was just drinking more to combat that feeling, its a vicious circle.

An anti-depressant or depresant But it does make it worse, whichever:D

I think the vitamin D may now be starting to kick in:D

Yep, I ended up drinking to forget I was drinking..........
And then when I actually wasn't drinking, I felt so bad I had to drink to feel better. Which made me feel worse........ as you say a vicious circle.

Who ever thought when you are in a pub when you are young, drinking just to loose your inhibitions and have a good time, you would end up like this?

Crying in a dark place, as we have all said before I think, having to go right down to rock bottom before you can manage to do anything about it.

I would never have believed it of me, never.
