Hi All,
I need help, Im very sorry for asking, but this addictive drug thats available on every shop corner has gotten the better of me.
Im 33, Ive ben drinking since I was 16 which initially landed me in trouble and the law took my driving licence off me for 2 years.
Ive always told myself that I shouldnt regularly try anything strong than a lager, which would be fine if it wasnt for the fact that I now hit 10+ lagers per day.
At least a swig of last nights beer first thing in the morning, 2 pints at lunchtime and best part of a gallon in the evening.
I hate what its doing to me, I get panic attacks during the day as the Alco is leavin my system and get the shakes also.
I also fear, that my dear girlfrield will leave me because of this terrible affliction.
Every thought in me tell me to stop drinking, but for me to have both a mental and physical addition, its difficult to do.
Help help help.

It's the third time in my life i've had to do this & it must be the last (that's why i'm here, can't do it alone) so for me this time round, only a bottle of wine a night, with the odd bender here and there, but i'm tiny and female, knew things were getting out of hand when i started adding a few beers on top of the bottle, yeah, shakes, panic attacks, like once i start, there's no off button... went to the doctor and she gave me valium (well, oxazepam,) and b vitamins. The point of the valium thing is to get you through withdrawal with less shakes and no risks of fits/seizures, plus it relaxes muscles (like booze). Valium is (haha) addictive, so you don't want to stay on it too long and do need to come off it slowly. I hate it, but not being able to quit alcohol was worse. The b vits cos alchohol uses them up and also are handy for easing the panic. Will be trying some of the supplements reccomended here when i have the cash. It's not easy to see a doctor, but a good one can help you through the first stages, then there is here, you need everything you can get, it takes time and effort to get well, but beleive me it's possible - the ten years sober i had taught me that. Good on you for tackling it before christmas !!
