Hello all !
I was part of your family a couple of years ago ,,,,,, did well ,,, but I have to admit I’ve slipped not only back in my old habits , but worse than ever.
I am a binge drinker ,,,, a big binge drinker, and I don’t like myself being that way ,
I’m sure my drinking did have an impact on my marriage, and that ended 7 years ago, I’m now in a fairly new relationship and happy , but I can see my new man almost shocked with me when I’m on a session,,,, I don’t want to loose him , and I’ve noticed my kids have mentioned my drinking a few times lately ,,,,,,
So I’ve had a talking to my self and decided to give up the booze ,,,TOTALLY ,,, it’s no good me trying to cut down , it’s making me depressed , sad, moody I look 10 years older and need to do something about it ,,,,,
I’m going to a soft drink person from now on ,,,,,,,,,,, I will not miss anything about booze
Hangovers
Arguments
Falling over
Falling asleep
Depression
Failed marriage
I COULD GO ON FOR AGES ,,,,,
I will have a clear head , clear skin and my life back ,,,,,,

I also have a lot to keep me occupied,, I’m moving home , I have started a new business, alongside my job ,,,, so I need a clear head and no more wasting money on booze that can go to better use !!

Maggie M ,, I know what you mean about no wine in the house ,,, I have so much vodka, gin and countless other spirits all sitting there,, I never drink them ,, but bring a bottle of wine in my house and it’s gone down my greedy neck in no time !
An open bottle is an empty bottle
When I do drink I do not have a stop switch ,, and drink until I fall over or fall sleep,,,
There I’ve said it ,,, it’s not a pretty sight , and one I will no longer be !

Popping in to call 21/31, thank you very much Shaggy.

I'm just the same with a bottle of wine, lovesale. Spirits, I'm surrounded by them (OH likes a whisky occasionally, I would sometimes have a gin) - some of the bottles look ancient and highly dubious - mainly liqueurs, (I really don't like them at all). But, open a bottle of wine and if the OH didn't nab his couple of glasses I could drink three quarters, no problem. I'm looking to change my home drinking habits.

I'll be routing for you loveasale!
