    Good luck. Just try and be honest with your Mum. I'm sure she has yours (and Jaspers) best interests at heart. Grit your teeth and get through it.

    Just be honest, ask your mum for her opinion on your plans (see GP etc). It'll soon be over! Come back and tell us later.

  • Hi all

    I've been a lurker on DFW for a while and saw this thread today.

    I too have been having a nightmare with alcohol - had put a lot of weight on, made a show of myself all the time. Decided to try to give up for a while and get healthy. Was doing really well but then went to an event last week and fell off the wagon and again made a show of myself. Spent all of Friday being sick and actually blacked out in the bathroom and fell down injuring myself. As if that wasn't enough then met up with a friend (or perhaps not really a friend thinking about it as not sure can trust them) on Sat afternoon and got hammered again, spent loads and had an awful saturday night passed out on the sofa and then felt bad about myself all day today.

    I'm pretty sure the reason I am unable to find a man is because of my drinking. But it's really hard. Have been through a lot over last couple of years (fiance left me for someone else who he is now marrying, had to move out of our house, got into debt because he wouldn't give me back what I paid towards the mortgage and now having some other issues I don't want to post here) and alcohol has probably been a way of coping.

    Also, if I don't go out (so as to avoid temptation) I sit at home all weekend by myself.

    Really hate myself at the moment and worry all the time about what my reputation is - feel like people laugh at me and their impression is "she's always p1ssed". I really do want to stop and haven't had a drink today (even though I've felt like it because I've been so bored) but just don't know how to prevent myself from giving in
