    New Here

    Hi,

    I am new to this site. I definitely need some help with my drinking.

    :new:

    Over the last 5 years my marriage broke down, I lost my licence for drink driving, and now my relationship with my boyfriend is about to end if I dont control my drinking.

    I have memeory loss when drinking and can lose hours at a time. I seem to think I am "cool" when I am drinking which I know is stupid. All my friends drink and all we do is go to bars and clubs. I am more of a binge drinker as I dont really drink during the week, but when I do drink I dont know when to stop.

    I have decided that as of today I will only ever have 2 glasses of wine (maximum) on the occassional dinner out. If I cant do that then I am going to check myself into AA, which is my last resort.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Thanks fo reading,

    Welcome Faye! As far as I am concerned you have a lot in your favor if you can go days without drinking and it does not bother you. Some of us here, myself included, find that to be quite the challenge. The supplements advised in the book here can help reduce the cravings and might help with you with wanting to drink less when you do socialize. You have come to a good place, hope you enjoy the stay!!! Funny how we think we are so cool when we drink when really we aren't, huh?
    I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

      Hi Fay I am new to. I hear what you are are saying. I am now over 30 days sobre. My marriage also broke down and I didn't reach out. I went for the bottle instead. I also had no faimly for support where I live. But I am a survivor and decided to work with my thoughts.my feelings and my behaviour.Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.So far its working. I am sick of making a fool of myself and allowing my gifts go to waste.I wish you luck...

        Hi FayeC, i'm new here too and feel much the same as you do. I've been sober for only a couple of days after starting drinking heavily after I lost my first baby last year and being in an abusive relationship. Hopefully all will start to improve now :-) I've realised I was not only hurting everyone around me (and many relationships are now beyond repair) but myself most of all. Good luck and best wishes!
