i can go days without a drink then woops, i just have 10 drinks. had a recent liver function test and it was good. kidding myself really. have a husband who hasnt had a drink for 7 years, who nows suffers from depression and figured i would rather drink and be happy. That was until my 7 year old asked me not to buy anymore wine - he didnt like me when i drank it. i was so proud of him to have the courage to tell me, but so appalled at myself that he had to say it. so i am taking a giant baby step toward making my family proud and myself.

light bulb moment
:new: oh boy this is a very scary thing to do. i have been in denial for years, pretending i have a handle on myself. i knew today things werent right when i snuck myself a bottle of champers and hid the bottle in 2 bags amongst the rubbish. i am only fooling myself - and sitting here reading everyones heart felt notes and support to each other, i have taken a step toward getting a grip on myself.

:welcome: Welcome, this is a great place to try to sort thru all those feelings. It is so hard to take that first step of admitting there is an issue. I hid a bottle of wine in my closet when my relatives were visiting for the Christmas holidays last year....hard to do that and still think there is no problem - so you are certainly among friends and people who understand your struggle.
Hope you find lots of information here and good luck on beginning this journey.
