I am 39 and from the UK. I am in my last month of a (post) graduate degree and have a good job to go to in August but of course my main problem is drinking. I do not really get cravings but boredom is a major problem for me and sleeping without being drunk. I have also put on a lot of weight really and I seem trapped in a cycle of bordom-feeling fat-drinking -not sleeping. Stupidly when I do not drink for a few days and eat right and go to the gym I feel so great that I celebrate by drinking. Crazy I know.

Oh Toasty - good for you for being here! That is why we all are here. We need to learn to celebrate without the alcohol. It's amazing how much better we feel without it but then we fall into the traps again.
Just hang on tight here. Very supportive people here. Be sure to read & post and read & post and read & post. It does help!!!:welcome:

:welcome: Toasty and Dryinout you have both come to a super place. Lots of good advice from both long term and beginners, its working for me and I'm sure it will work for you. Toasty hold on to that thought : Stupidly when I do not drink for a few days and eat right and go to the gym I feel so great that I celebrate by drinking. Crazy I know. You don't need the drink to celebrate honest! :h

:welcome:Toasty and Drying Out, you've come to a great place to help you begin a new life. I used to do the 2 or 3 days of exercise, good food, gym too and also "reward" myself with alcohol. It's really a change of mindset once you get past the worst part. Make a list of good and healthy things you could reward yourself with instead of alcohol. Eventually you don't even have to think about it, it just becomes natural to want something not poisoning you like alcohol does. Keep posting, reading and a big WELCOME!!!to you both!

Hello Toasty, Im new here too, just joined yesterday and have spent the afternoon reading so many inspirational posts and topics, I just know this is the right and best place to seek help.

This MYO thread is brilliant and really hits home why the booze isnt our best freind. I hope the link works, I havent posted a link here yet - yikes!!

Im also a boredom drinker and binger so once I start I cant stop, Sometimes Im ok sometimes Im not but just being here is really helping me focus and learn about the effects and mind set.

Stick around, us newbies can help eachother. Great news on the new job, well done.

Toasty, well done for being here, and well done on your post-grad degree - not easy I know.
I understand how it works!! You want to loose weight, you know that the AL is a factor, you can turn down all sorts of food, but somehow or other your brain tells you that wine, or any alcohol I suppose, has no calories! that's how it is for me - CRAZY
