I don't feel so alone now

[Angela33]

:new: Hi everyone. I'm so glad I found this site. I have been an alcoholic for many years and finally decided to do something about it in September last year. I took myself off to a clinic for 7 days. My goal was not abstinence because if I thought I could never drink I don't think I could have ever stopped drinking. When I went to the clinic I was drinking an average of 22 drinks a day. Wine.
Everthing was great and I didn't drink for three months. And then I started drinking again, two days a week and only bottled wine, not casks. I thought I had it all under control and life felt great. I could drive my daughter somewhere at 7.00 at night and pick her up from places because I wasn't drunk. But it's creeping back up on me and even if I only have 1 glass of wine some days, I am drinking every day again. I'm so scared of losing control of my drinking and going back to that dark, lonely place. So, today I started taking the Campral that I was prescribed months ago and have not had a drink yet and am hoping that I can beat this before I lose it again.Just reading your stories helps. Don't feel like I'm struggling on my own anymore.

Good Luck Angela,
I'm new here as well. Read the book and am starting the supplements. After years of drinking every single night, no exceptions, I am moderating now. Instead of bottles of wine/night, I am down to 2-3 glasses a night. I hope to be AF by next Wednesday, the start of Lent. Not that I am that religious, but it will come in handy as an excuse to all my drinking friends. I can hear myself saying "Oh no thank you. I gave it up for lent".........Hope I can do it
