I am 36, married, with two young boys (3 and 5 years-old).
I have always been a heavy drinker, though the past 12 ? 16 months things have gotten dramatically worse.
I have stopped several times in the last year or so for anything from 2 days up to 4 weeks at one stage, but I always end up back in the same situation. Coming out of a 3 or 4 day drinking binge, physically sick, in pain and depressed.
For the past several months I am averaging 1.5 ? 2 bottles of wine per night. And more on the weekends as I drink in the mornings to get through my hangovers.
I have tried AA, visited my local GP (twice!) and have tried self help books and dietary supplements. Nothing appears to work for me.
My wife loves me and is supportive, but has told me I have to stop.
So I am starting again, today, and am hoping My Way Out will be successfully where others have not. I have emptied the house of alcohol, and am trying to be positive about this situation and my future.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
