Please can someone help me stop drinking. I am a mum of 2 young boys. I have a loving husband. Alcohol is making me lie and deceive. I don't really know why I started to get dependent on it, just that now I feel so anxious when I stop, that I buy some more. I work part time and never drink then - just at home.:upset::new:

Hi daisy,
Welcome to MWO, this is a good place!
You've made a good decisionfor yourself & your family!
If you haven't already download & read the MWO book from the Health store. It's full of info about the program & it's components. You have to make a good plan for yourself too. Look in the Tool box (located in the Monthly Abstinence section) for good ideas.
You'll receive lots of support here but you do need to make the commitment & do the work! It's not easy to quit but completely possible & you'll love the results. Waking up each morning with a clear head, ready to face your day with no hangover is a true blessing!
Wishing you the best on your journey. Please drop in the 'Newbies Nest' thread & let us know how you're doing

Welcome Daisy.
You aren't alone:-)
Yes, do start by reading the book "My Way Out" it is a quick read and has loads of advice and will help you decide what your plan is.
Keep reading and posting, this is a wonderful and friendly environment."The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it"Comment

Hello and Welcome Daisy:
I too suffer horrible anxiety when I stop drinking. I have come to learn that although anxiety is a horrible feeling, it does pass and it will not kill me, as alcohol will. I do not have to run from anxiety anymore. You may want to consult your doctor if it is intolerable, or it persists. There are some helpful "non-addictive" meds available. You Can Do This!!! Stay close by. You will get great advice and helpful suggestions here from others who know exactly what you are going through.:l"Decide-Which Voice in Your Head you Can Keep Alive" (Shinedown)Comment

Hi Daisy, welcome, you are in a good place, read lots, write lots. I too am a father of two awesome children, I have a loving wife, and I am an alcoholic. That's why I am here, that's why I have stopped. You might want to look at the perceived anxiety you feel when you don't drink. Addiction is very cunning, so that anxiety might be addiction in disguise, sending you a sneaky urge. You can surf the urge and it will pass. You can do it.
