I'm not doing well with the old AL at the minute. In fact I'm back at square one - one on, one off........
I'm under a great deal of stress at work, and using the bottle to run home to and "destress" - wtf ? I'm at a stage where I thinnk it's never going to change.
It took me till dinner time today to just recover - and that's after driving 30 miles to work. Dangerous. sat in a 1.5T battering ram doing 90 miles an hour - not good.
I know I need some sort of help - I just don't know what to do.
I'm sorry to burden yer - I'm just struggling is all :-(
Weird that I read this that you were running home to distress not de-stress. If you boil it down that is what alcohol is bringing to your life distress.
First things first then. Have you spoken honestly with your husband. Not like I used to weeping and wailing after several glasses of wine and making all sorts of impossible promises.
Secondly trip to the doctors. They've heard it all before and probably more. Yep they'll go on about AA but they're getting more savvy these days. Most likely you'll be reffered for specialist alcohol counselling and treatment. No.............they will not drag you off to a nut house, take your children away or share any of your medical records with any one unless you give them written permission. (I'd always believed that was the case and just had it confirmed this afternoon you have to give permission.).
Thirdly I'll not lie to you it will be shite. But we'll be here to guide you through every single shitty moment. OK.
Never mind picking a day. Today's as good as any. If you've already started then tomorrow. All booze to be removed from the house toot sweet.
