Hi all. Like I said, I'm new here. Kinda desperate. I'm sick of feeling sick and trying once again not to drink. Going to meeting just isn't for me, so I'm trying this.

Ok. I've been drinking since I was 13, I am now 42, on my second marriage to a non drinker. I have been drink a 6 pack or more a day. Recently I tried only drinking on weekends. But now my weekends seem to start on thursday and I feel like crap monday morning. Today I stayed home from work and don't feel like doing anything. I drink to feel better but then feel 10 times worse. I suffer with seasonal depression which is in full swing right now. So I drink to feel better and end up feeling much worse. I don't know why I can't understand that it is the alcohol causing my problems. So I'm hoping to find someone to talk to. I know my husband is disappointed with me so I drink. I hate that I've gained weight so I drink. I can sooo relate to what people here are saying. I really wish someone would try harder to stop me from drinking and at the same time, I know I'm the only one who can do that. It's this time of day that's the killer for me.

Sounds verrrrry similar to my story. Married to a nondrinker, weekends go too long, feel like crap on Monday and more depressed so drink more. Download the book and read it and then I would suggest going on the supplements at first. If anything it makes you feel healthier. And keep coming around here. This group has saved me from drinking my life away because I don't feel so alone and isolated working at home when I can come on here. Stick around. Please.

Thanks, Lush. Right now I could easily get a beer before Dr Phil comes on. I'm also a vegetarian which concerns me right now, so yeah, I should look into the supplements. My treadmill is 2 feet away from me but I can't seem to get there.....
