Hi there, I am only 24 this thursday so I am young but I can feel myself slipping off rails and I want help but I am scared bout it. I am most scared as I am mum. :-( I am married but we recently split, since this its got worse, the good think is we are hoping to get things back on track but I have quit booze even just while to see if I do have major problem.

The thing is see somedays I dont drink it might b for 3/4 days mayb more but when I do, the same as I seen alot you say you have glass an before you know its the bottle or more. I never know when stop, I have told my husband before I will quit but I just find my self slipping back in and I am honestly scared as I love him so much and I dont want loose him for sake of ?5.00 bottle wine!! The point is I know I need help but I am not sure how to, and I am worried I will losse my little girl.

Can anyone help me with these problems please? :thanks:

Hey Pink, welcome. Thats a brave thing you have just done, admitting your problem and asking for help.
Firstly have you read the book that forms the basis of the programme for this site? That would help you begin to get a plan together to help yourself. Theres lots of options, for example supplements, medications, hypnosis CDs, the support here or a combination of all these.
Let us know your thoughts and how you are doing OK?

Pink, I think Cymru lives near you...I am sure he will know of some alcohol help centres nearby. I expect he will be on later...If he doesnt see this thread, I will ask him to pm you.
It will take time to gain the trust back from your hubby, just as it took time to lose it. Just keep working on yourself. Actions speak louder than words.

Hey Pink,

Hello from me! I am not that far from you honey...I am in Bath (not far from you in Wales).
There are NHS drop in centres sprinkled all over the UK (So you don't have to visit your GP), I am not sure whether there are any in Cardiff though hon.

Cardiff - Home, Alcohol & drugs, Alcohol and drugs

I have put a link to Cardiff Drug and Alcohol Services. I approached a similiar service in London when I lived there and there are numerous education programmes and support groups (Stress Management, Alcohol Education, Phschologists etc) that do not charge ??'s to visit.

You are young honey. Please do something now for you, your kids and your marriage.
Let us know how you get on.

Please get back to us Pink and let us know how you are getting on.

Don't be afraid of phoning the NHS groups. Lovely people and really helpful....and confidential if you want them to be.
There is a tonne of info on this site as you have probably worked out.
Thinking of you sweetie.....
Do something now, before your drinking gets worse!

Pink, I have sent Cy a pm so I am sure he will be contacting you soon.
Like Amelia says, ask for the help you need. You can do this...
