Hi everyone

[Nicole2003]

I've just registered today. Have ordered CDs and supplements - hope they help. Sometimes i can contol my drinking, sometimes I can't - I just can't predict either way. I generally have a few alcohol free days every week. But then I get greedy with it at the weekends. And when I'm greedy, I suffer blackouts, a general inability to walk, talk absolute crap and have massive panic attacks the next day. I drink when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I need confidence, when I want to relax, when I'm with people or when I'm on my own - I'm not fussy! There are times when I don't function well in work because Im hungover. And more importantly I'm worried about the impact on my relationship. My partner and I plan to buy a house togther this year. He has pased comment on the state I get myself into sometimes but he doesn't realise the true extent of my drinking. As much as I love drinking I recognise its messing my life up and I really need to do something about it. Any advice is most welcome. x

Hi everyone

Hey you took the first major steps to get healthier. You know you have a problem and you are moving to things to work on the problem. Welcome and keep coming back. That works for me. I am a binger. I can go with out it at times also. But lately binging has taken over. I would look forward to the times when I could just get smashed and I would lie and all the terrible parts of my personality would take over. I was losing control. It wouldn't be that hard for me to drink all the freakin' time at the moment. I decided that wasn't where I wanted to be and it would endanger my relationship with Hubby. Just read posts and keep posting. You are not alone. That's meant a lot to me when I found this place. You will get support here.

Hi everyone

Hi Nicole -

Welcome! You've found a great place with wonderful people. My advice is to read and read, and post too.

I know what you mean about your loved one not knowing the extent of the problem. My husband was really blind to it at first - of course I helped a little by sneaking drinks, hiding bottles - LOL!
