Hi LITM, don't be nervous, i'm new here too and just talking about it helps. If you only drink at the weekends your doing a lot better than me. I get drunk every night and during the day i do what can be best described as "function", a word i've heard a lot on this forum. Bite the bullet LITM, and control it now before it gets worst. There are plenty of stories on here telling you how folks have started and watched it spiral out of control. Why not try going away for the weekend somewhere there is no booze?
Not one to offer advice really, but i hope that helps.

Hi there Look, good to see you here and its a great first step admitting that you might need a helping hand. There are lots of those here and the support might be just the thing you need to sort this out.
Best wishes.

We can all be the greatest of liars, to others and more especially to ourselves. This place has helped me tremendously and I hope it does the same for you. Read, read, read and you will find a fortunes worth of information. I also find posting on a daily basis a great help.

Being Here Helps Already

I do so well during the week. NO acohol. Then, want to relax, but I end up drinking all weekend. I am tired of it. NO MORE! And I pray God will help me help myself.

The drinking is not "fun" anymore.

LITM~ I was just saying this to myself last night. I have that first glass of wine that I look so forward to......and then the second......and by the third, I'm not ENJOYING it anymore. I'm drinking because I think I HAVE to. Actually~ now that I analyze this more, I don't think I really enjoy the first glass either. I am gulping it down and not savoring anything......

I am starting day 2 AF today.....actually stayed up and watched the 10:00 news last night!! WOW!! Haven't done that in awhile!
