Good morning everyone

I'm a 45 year old woman and I am really worried about my drinking.

Until I got married 5 years I didn't have a problem with drinking. My husband likes a drink and I seem to have got swept along with drinking more and more.

I have got to the stage now where I can tell my body is getting dependant on alcohol but I don't feel I am (yet). I can go for weeks without drinking and don't crave it but am a typical binge drinker. For example on Sunday we bought some wine on special offer, after having the first glass I knew that I would not be able to stop at the one bottle and subsequently drank 1 and 3/4 bottles (fell asleep and the woke up to the last glass full and untouched).

Today my arms feel 'fizzy', my husband laughs when I try to explain it so I am hoping someone here will understand what I mean. I don't have the shakes but do sweat a lot in bed sometimes.

I gave up alcohol for the whole of January and wonder now why I ever started again. My life is so productive when sober.

Today is day 2 and I am aiming for 31 days AF.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes and good luck to everyone today.

Welcome Polly!:)

I'm sure a lot of us will read your post and sit here nodding. Your story certainly echoes mine a little bit.

Good luck to you today and well done on the 2 days AF already

Hi Miss P

Thank you so much for your reply.

I've had slightly shaky ones....like a mild trembling throughout my arms. Not enough to bother me but I knew it was there, sort of thing. Hope that makes sense!! I found this was after drinking a lot, and in a short space of time. Nowadays I try to avoid that sort of drinking. Don't get me wrong, I still drink a lot at times but try to avoid the binge aspect of it.

Miss P, thanks for that, I think that is probably what I have.
