Hi OldRover,

I can't help you with the 'why'... still pondering that myself. But welcome, and good for you for showing up here. I'm sure you will find some answers/solutions here. I'm starting to.

Welcome! It's good you came here. The question is not so much "why," perhaps, as it is "what next?"

I'd recommend that you download or buy the MWO book; spend some time here reading what everyone is saying, and ask questions; put together a good solid plan for achieving the goals that are important to you! Stick around; you will get a lot of information and support.

best wishes,

wip

First of all WELCOME

If I could answer that question...well I would be the MWO queen!! We don't know why, but we know what helps. You have found a wonderful place. And we are all here to help.

So get ready, read the book, read more posts and make a plan! You can do it!

I drank 1-2 bottles of wine a day....I am on Day 8 AF, it can be done!!

If it's just "boredom," then I guess all you need to do is to choose more activities, so you are less bored!

Right?

Most of us have a vulnerability to alcohol abuse that we are born with, and that is made much worse by years of heavy drinking...

Again, the most important question (assuming that new activities doesn't cure you) is: What next?

Oldrover Welcome, Its true as everyone has said, no one really knows why. My therapist gave me the phrase H.A.L.T., Never be too hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Those were some of my triggers. Spend some time here with these wonderful people, you will learn so much. Very best to you, you have taken the first step.

P.S. Does your name refer to an old dog ? I'm a dog lover myself and I suppose I'm an old rover my self.

Hey Old Rover :welcome:
Yip, boredom was one of my reasons, I too drank half a bottle of whisky a day (at least)
Keeping busy and getting out of the same old routine helps, logging on, reading posts.
You are not alone, not any more.

Welcome Rover! We are glad you are here. Please read the book, it has so much information in it. I agree with WIP...I try not to place too much energy on "why" I drink but on "What's next". Stay close to boards and read and post as much as you like. Someone will always be here!
