Hi....
I'm a 40 yr old mother of 2 - 14 yr old daughter, 13 yr old son
Was married for 14 yrs - been divorced for almost 2 yrs
Drinking habits - used to be a moderator - I have progressively become a drinker that cannot stop at 2 drinks. When I drink - its to the point of drunkeness - typically 1.5 bottles of wine - sometimes more.
I have had some successful "stretches" of being AF - however, have been falling down some lately.

Read MWO back in June. Love red wine can and do drink about a bottle a night (or more) and want to moderate. I just have a hard time doing that. I'm ordering the cd's & vitamins and hope this helps.

I am the book. Everything she talks about is so me! I would love to just have 1 or 2 glasses a night. Hoping this will help. Thanks for letting me vent:upset:

Is NHS the National Health Service in UK?

Ok here I go:

I am 42, married, have a 2 year old son and a 17 year old stepson. I love to cook and consider myself a foodie. I drink beer and wine and so does hubby. I would like to moderate. I had some AF time over the summer but have not been doing so well lately.

This is me right now

I'm 46, a mom of three - one out of the house and two teenagers, and I'm married. My husband is disabled and I can't talk to him - he does not communicate like we might consider to be normal. My Dad's 84 and has been going through chemo for melanoma (about 8 months now) that's spread throughout his body and he is now trying an experimental drug. I have a job, but have gotten way behind. In forebearance on my house right now and hoping to keep it. I like to sleep a lot and am tired most of the time. Drink a bottle of wine a night or half a pint of hard A. Also, take valium in various amounts. I'm still doing well at work although I don't even know how. I'm obviously depressed. Sleeping is my favorite thing, getting up in the morning my least. I can't stop the drugs and alcohol because that's all that makes me feel okay for a while in the evening and to be able to tolerate my life. It's day-to-day for me trying to keep the family happy. I thought I was a smart person and people tell me I'm smart. The name I chose - density comes from my mom telling me I was dense since I was little. And, I'm obviously selfish for taking up so much time whining about myself. Mom's passed away, December 21, 2006 and things have gone down hill since then. Just looking for a break and maybe someone to help me not be so pathetic.
