Hi guys
We have a new member - Jerrybear - she has been posting this morning - she really needs some help. let's get some responses quickly from our great community.
It looks like she has been drinking for some time and plans to detox herself this weekend (on her own) - she is a medical professional and doesnt want to do it in the hospital because people know her - Jerrybear - correct anything I say that is wrong ok?) - she is very concerned about DTs/withdrawal - for obvious reasons. Has anyone been through this personally?
I am concerned about her health/safety - can people talk to her - give her info?????
She is going through some major emotional turmoil and needs immediate guidance - please and thanks guys.
Love
Jen

i'm new here - joined today - i'm not sure if i'm doing this correctly. i can't find where you are supposed to post. i've been reading since the middle of august and i want to thank you for just 'being there'. i realise now that i'm not the worst ever drinker, but i was scared. drinking 3 or 4 times a week, sharing a bottle of wine with hubby and drinking most of it myself. beginning to hide drinks too, and then having to get rid of the bottles. i even went to the gym once and dumped a bottle in the bin there - how pathetic is that !

i've kept notes on when i've felt i've let myself down. i've abstained three times - once for 7 weeks, then 10 weeks and then for 5 weeks. The best thing since finding this site is that I feel i don't have to say to myself 'I'll never drink again'. i shared a bottle on an european holiday three weeks ago, had a few glasses on some other days. Had one glass of wine a week last friday and shared a bottle on wednesday. i feel good, but i'm afraid that it won't last. Do we have to live with this fear forever, or does it get better.

You are all an inspiration. If only i'd found this site sooner. Why are so many of us caught in this? I'm from the UK. Are there any welsh people out there - siarad Cymraeg?
