Hi everyone
I'm new here, registered today, I just ordered the book today, I'm hoping that it'll arrive quickly! I've spent too many years telling myself that I'm just like my friends, having the occasional glass of wine during the week, maybe a few more at the weekends, when infact 2-3 bottles of wine everyday for a very long time is not the same :-( waking up everyday with a massive hangover, feeling so anxious I dont want to leave the house, retching when I brush my teeth, being foul to my lovely husband and kids, not the same.
Obviously I dont have a drink problem, I never drink in the day, only in the evening...... This little delusion has worked for quite awhile!!!! I've known for awhile that I needed to address my problem, it isnt going to fix itself, I've read loads of books (AA big book, Alan Carrs-Easy way, plus a shelf full of others) non of them were right for me, but I've spent a couple of weeks on this site and my face has been lighting up everyday!!!
I gave up drinking on Wed 14th Jan, not a massive achievement, but after over 15 years (exc 4 pregnancies) it is huge to me, I'm taking the supp's, eating really well, and coming on here loads and I'm not going to drink. I hate alcohol, I hate what its done to my life, I hate the wasted years I've had, I'm not going to let it ruin other minute of my life.
Sorry for waffling on!!! Your stories and advice have been a huge support for me.
Thank you xxxxx
