The last nine years though have been the worst, things have escalated, I have experienced many challenges and used wine to dull my fears and emotions.
I have tried many times and bought many programmes to stop drinking, which I mostly do at home (the drinking), without success. The result is that I seem to have entered into a cycle of shame and guilt (I'm an expert at guilt!), low energy, and the resultant depression which then makes me want to drink more, in fact I feel as though I am missing something important if I don't drink!
I really don't want to be like this, the guilt and shame (self-imposed) has caused me to isolate myself from life. I really thought I was alone, the only person who had this shameful secret! Then I stumbled across this site, I am really hoping that realising I am not alone and having the support of others who understand will be the boost I need to be AF.
:thanks:
