Welcome Jools.

We all have found it difficult to admit to ourselves we have a problem. Once you do, you are on the road to recovery.

We are all here to support each other.

jools,

You're doing fine! Here's a direct link to the Tool Box, it's great:

https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html

I also recommend continuing to post, as you have been, reading other posts and reading the My Way Out book. It's downloadable from this site. Let us know if you need help.

Take care from another almost-2-bottles-a-night-wineo-too!-but-not-anymore,

hey jools,

its not stupid, weak or pathetic to cry, i've cried a lot too and still do its better to let it out. you feel sorry for yourself if you want to - i reckon its one of the steps towards recovery because you have to feel sorry in order to start feeling better (hope that makes sense - im not sure im expalining ,myself very well) and you will feel better eventually. you have come to a great place i hope you find what you need in the box!

take care, love shelley xxx

i found it pretty cathartic to go and post my story on the "my story" board. it's a really good way to get feedback from people about your situation. you'll be surprised how similar we all are!
