Not sure what I'm doing here

[Rhody]

Hi, my name is Goldilocks and I have a drinking problem. I drink one bottle + of wine every night and I hate myself. However, about 5 PM I feel really hyper and need to "calm down." Could go on and on, but am just "sticking my toe" in to get the feel of this.

Hi Rhody and welcome. I used to be a daily wine or vodka drinker myself. I can relate to that unavoidable desire that used to come for me at 5PM, but in later years came earlier and earlier in the day. This "problem" only gets worse, not better if we keep on without making any changes.

I hope you will download the book to get a feel for the My Way Out program as recommended. This is a great community in which to tackle the problem!

Hi Rhody & welcome to MWO, this is a good place!

I was a daily wine drinker too, a lot of it! My anxiety level was through the roof a year ago, the wine made it so much worse. I'm very happy to be free of it now, you can be too.

It helps to make yourself a good plan. Look in the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html for good ideas.

Wishing you the best on your journey!

Rhody,

Welcome!
You have found a place that helps with information and an understanding of your addiction. It may take time to realize "why" you are here....but you are here and you should hang out!!!! You may not see it yet but you will, through time, understand what is happening to you. Blessings on your way out!

Hi Rhody
I've been doing a bottle a night too for the last year or so. It does suck, but I'm hopeful now that there is a way out. Read lots of posts and the book etc and see what you think. I think it's great to have someone to talk to about it who won't be shocked or disgusted. We can get out of this.

Hi Rhody

Thanx for your comment on my thread. You are here doing the same as me climbing out of a bottle. I only just joined but already feel like I have found a very special place to be. Together with all these great people we can do it. The wine can stay in the supermarket and the money in our bank account. I also intend to be a few pounds lighter.

Keep at it xx
