SL, I am starting again, I can't count how many times I have tried and slipped back into old habits. Maybe trying to leave at this time is to much to deal with. If you are not in danger then try to place your focus on yourself. People will say 1 day at a time. For me on day 3 AF its still 1 hour at a time. Staying sober is a full time job. I think you should give yourself some time to get sober before you think about making changes. withdraw is a bitch and I know from previous attempts that after the 3rd day, the fog lifts and I start to see things differently. If you truly want to leave this man and start a new life it will be easier to make that decision when you have been AL free for a little while. Have a great sober day!

Hi Scots and welcome to our site. I don't have much advise on relationships, but I know that once you get a few good AF days in you will feel so much better and much more positive. Try some of the suggestions on here. Kudzo etc, they may help you with cravings.
I know its HELL for the first few days. Been there so many times. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted!

Hi Sotts & Welcome!

You have many co-patriots on this site and I'm sure they will be along soon. I believe our beloved Sausage is from Scotland and her story is very inspirational. You can search her posts at the top of this page, over to the right under ...'Search'. There is also the ARMY thread with lots of people in your neck of the woods.

You've landed in a wonderful place. Increidble help and support. Just read read read and get comfortable (Newbie Nest is a great start-lots of new people and old timers to help there!)
Stay close,

Hugs and heart

:l :h

Scots :welcome:- also over on the AF Daily thread is Mick - from Scotland.
He is great for advice.
I'm sure he will also be glad of some Scottish Company - as we Irish sometimes gang up on him

9 months ago I also drank wine nightly and couldn't imagine a night without it !
Keep posting & reading and take small steps - you can beat the daily drinking bit by bit ! :l
