I need to try something - anything - to help me stop going back to the drink.

I'm one to talk, but you really do need to find something that works, your binge drinking is dangerous and making you do things that you wouldn't normally do. Please get some help xxx

I haven't really shared my drinking with you guys yet. Is it just me doing what I'm doing?

Dunno, what you doing :rotfl:

Hi all,

I am still lurking here and are now 5 months without a drink. For me it had to be all or nothing and alcohol was making me loose things but most of all I was starting to loose ME and something had to give and the alcohol it was.

Five months later, life improved but the best thing is waking up everyday with no hangover and no guilt or remorse.

Hope I can help anyone who is struggling


Where do you all live im in Manchester

Hugs to you Pen (((()))) hope everything is okay? xx

SSG, welcome back we knew you'd return :rotfl: (they don't get far )

NRA, welcome :wave:

Sorry for all the separate posts, it won't let me multi-quote too many and I'm too lazy to do anything different :rotfl:

Had a nice day playing cricket with DS over the park, all was great till I discovered my burnt dinner

3 days AF now and starting to feel 'normal'

Hope you all had a good evening, speak to you tomorrow xx

FH, I don't know if you've noticed but i tend to be quiet about my drinking except when I'm AF. I hang around here if I'm either when I can, I just stay quiet. But i've drunk 6 bottles of wine in less than 3 days - not good

I don't know if that helps or hinders. Tell us only if you want to *hugs*

You dont need to

I do sometimes, but sometimes I dont

Thank you so much for those replies X

And 40sm ((hugs)) Missed our little chats.

I don't know what to do with myself really. Life is going on, nothing is falling apart....I'm still working, caring for my two gorgeous children. Drinking? Yep Managed to drink close to 2 bottles of wine Saturday night. Had a bottle of beer 10am Sunday because it made me feel better.

Thought I would try Gin and tonics instead. One or two a night seemed better than a bottle of wine. I managed a few weeks but soon returned to wine. What is it about wine!!!!?

My weight is going above 10st which it's never done before. I don't feel healthy anymore

I don't want this to be a depressing post though, because lots of the time I am very happy. It's just the drinking that I need to stop.

Much love X

From what I've been told and have read on here FH, it's the drinking that makes us feel the way we do, a bit lethargic and no motivation. I haven't really quit long enough to find out, but hopefully will get there soon.

Good luck xxx

Thanks. I get what you are saying. I guess I'm just not sure why I have the struggle in the first place.

I'm content, like my life, love my husband, have great children. I should be jumping for joy! Crazy stuff, this life. X
