I feel like I'm at a stage where enough is enough...I'm worried about what I'm doing to my health, what example I'm setting my kids and what the heck I did and said last night!
I want to quit or at least be able to drink like a 'normal' person.
I want to feel like I am controlling the alcohol and not the other way round.
The problem I have is that my husband also drinks too much : - (
He drinks because he enjoys it and is able to abstain when he feels like it. I guess the difference is that his drinking is more 'sociable' than mine, but he still binge drinks and I don't think he'll ever stop. He doesn't ask for much in life and a cold beer at the end of a hard day is his perfect way to unwind. Incidently, his father was an alcoholic and died of related disease.
I just wonder whether I stand a chance in changing myself while he still drinks. People have said to distance yourself from people who may lead you to temptation, but he's my husband! lol
Sometimes I wonder what is the point and let's just let the alcohol do its thing.
Is it ever possible to come from a place where alcohol rules your life to a place where you can stand in the middle of a party full of people drinking and be happy with your orange juice and sobriety?
Sorry for rambling - dunno if this makes any sense!!
