Thanks smithy,
Your kind words are really
very much appreciated, its nice to know your not alone and that other people
are going through similar things, and its just nice to be able to be honest
about things.
Ive had enough of acting like
an idiot, and spoiling evenings because I always have to have one more, and
then end up becoming more aquantied with the bathroom floor. I have never in
all my years had memory blocks and this has now happened several times over
what has been a very difficult time for about a month.
As I said I am so lucky to
have found this site, Its just what I needed and whilst watching TV I was
thinking a glass of wine would be nice, not having cravings just a “that would
be nice” as I had my laptop out I thought maybe I would have a quick look in
case someone had written back and seeing your message suddenly made me feel
more confident!
Ive also been reading your
stories and it sounds like you have been doing fabulous, you must be so proud
of yourself and it looks like you
have been helping a lot of other people during your journey.
Good luck to you, and im sure
we will bump into each other on here again soon J
Hello everyone
I’m a 30 something lady who
has recently developed a problem with binge drinking, I have done some stupid
stupid things due to alcohol and at times I have made a total idiot out of
myself in the process, or put myself in stupid situations.
its now starting to destroy
my life, and I need to get the binging under control before I lose myself
completely. I am able to share a social bottle of wine on occasions, but if I am
out and about I will get totally carried away – I shock myself how much I had
started to drink and when I started to lie about my consumption because I knew
in my heart I was drinking too much, I knew I had to do something.
I would like to get to the
point where I can not drink for a week or two and not really think about it as
a problem or that I am missing out. I want to go back to how it used to be,
which was pleasurable with no feeling of guilt.
I feel very lucky to have
stumbled on this site as it seems everyone is very supportive of each other! Today
is my first day drink free, im not sure how long I should not drink for,
something I am still deciding I think a month is a good amount of time to start
with. The most ive managed in a very long time is one day, so I guess it’s a big
challenge.
