    I'm new here

    If i'm honest i'm scared and not quite sure of what to expect from this. I havent always had a problem with drink it has only been in the last 10 years or so. I know now that i need help as things are getting out of control and i'm finding that drinking seems to be all i think about. I need to stop and need your help :new:

          It was getting to the point when i was about to give up all hope then i found this site. I have read some of the post and can see how it has helped so many people and i really feel that i can benefit from it. This really is may last chance. On the verge of losing hubby as he doesnt drink and he feels i drink to much. I reach for the wine as soon as i get in from work. A glass with dinner then a few more after. I feel that my drinking is getting out of hand.

                Welcome!

                Hey lastchance!

                Welcome! From one wino to another (I hope you don't mind that term, I tend to be quite blunt), my preference if you please is chardonnay and cheap is fine with me. With the help of MWO ( My Way Out) I am now 6 days AF (alcohol free). I strongly recommend downloading the My Way Out book and reading it cover to cover. It completely changed my life.

                There is help for you and more support for you than you could ever imagine :l

                Take care of yourself. Celebrate your first few posts with a nice tall glass of ice cold water! :welcome:

                  Last Chance,
                  You have come to the right place. This is a wonderful group of caring people here to offer support. I would suggest reading the book to get a handle on the program so you can devise you own plan to quit. This is not haphazard- a plan is crucial and will serve you well through this journey. Many of us have benefited from making a list of the reasons you want alcohol to stop controlling your life. Read it during the tough times to give you strength. I hope you come here often because that helps immensely. I look forward to your future posts and getting to know you better.

                    Kriger thanks for the advice. I will start my list this evening. Can think of many reasons. The main one being losing my hubby. He is my world and has been there for me through so much but guess there is only so much one person can take.

                        I too have been struggling with a wine problem - steadily increased from a glass or two a night to drinking about 50 units a week.

                        I've learned so much from MWO and the wealth of knowledge that the great people on here are sharing with me. This is my second attempt at quitting alcohol but I feel it's easier this time having found this site

                        Good luck and welcome

                              Thanks guys for making me feel welcome.

                              Think it all started when me and hubby started trying for a baby. We tried for a few years but nothing happened. We then realised something was wrong and went for tests only to find out that it was me that couldn't have children. We have thought about IVF but just can't afford it. Things have got so bad and drinking has just taking over. Hubby and I don't even talk anymore except for "hello how's your day been" and the usual general stuff. We used to be so intune with eachother and shared everthing. This is day 1 for me.
