I love beer, I love it, love it. Alcoholism is rampant in my family. I am what could be called a "functioning alcoholic". Nights like this I am not so sure. I am a wife and mom of 4, sitting here drinking well everyone is sleeping. I know I should he sleeping too, but I woke up and thought just one more................

Hi and welcome Sraajpaj!!
I began my journey by reading the book "My Way Out". I found it inspiring and was just what I needed to make the right changes in my life.
Strength to you.

Hi Sraa,

I am also a new member. Went to the doctors today to get some medication to help with the cravings but he wouldn't give me any - BP 163/111 so wants to sort that out first. Think I might be joining you with a drink tonight!!

Nikinoo...do you want to chat. i would recommend that you get out and start your own thread so you dont get lost in this one. but how much do you drink, what kind of medication did your doctor give you? Welcome welcome welcome

Nikinoo - You may just find if you go 30 days AF that your blood pressure miraculously sorts itself out! Now I know that probably sounds impossible from where you are now but I tell you it can be done. You just don't drink today (One Day at a Time -ODAT). Surely it's worth trying before you get put on high blood pressure tablets?

Anyway, there's lots of good support on this site. If you want to change your life you are in a place that can help you make it happen.
