I think I need to join in here.   I seem to have lost the weekend in a fuzz of feeling awful and it is time to admit my drinking is somewhat out of control.

Welcome Watty1 👋.
We call it wine, beer, whisky or whatever but in its basic form it's ethanol and our bodies recognise it as poison ☠️. Too much and our bodies' efforts to get rid of it make us feel awful ☹️. Unfortunately we try to make ourselves feel better by drinking more and so it goes on.
I hope this group helps you find some control. Many of us have found that being accountable by declaring a monthly target of alcohol free days and receiving the incentive of grown up 'reward stickers' as we move towards our targets and report on here really helpful. I don't know why it is so effective 🤔 but it works!

hi Watty1! You'd be most welcome to join Would you like to set a target for the rest of November? Or you could go target-free if you just wanted to see how it goes.
