[Miniminer]

Hello Everyone,
I'm Mini, I'm an alcoholic. I was in recovery for 6 years, and went back to drinking, I'm still drinking, but I know now, that I have had enough, so that's why I am here. I was proud to be able to say I was an alcoholic when I went to my AA meeting. I'm not proud of myself now. I have a wonderful family, who give me all the support I need, yet I still drink on a daily basis. When my husband has to go away for the night, instead of saying to myself, not again, I am saying neat, I'll be able to have a real drinking session tonight. I say and do the most stupidest things when I am drunk, create havoc where there isn't any. Always has an excuse for myself as to why, yet there isn't any excuse at all. Its all in my head.
Please help me, as I am desperate.

Morning Mini,
Betty just about said it all for me.
Yep, it's all in our head. So, it's changing our attitude, our self talk is what's needed to help ourselves out of the rut. If we keep reminding ourselves we are alcoholics or heavy drinkers, we're not doing ourselves any favours.
Buy the book, the supplements and the Kudzu. You'll find information about all this in the research part of the site. Go to your doctor and have a chat. It may not be as intimidating as your imagination would have you believe.
Read the posts, and know that there is a lot of support and help here for you.

Hi and welcome Mini!! If you were sober for that long before you know and we know you can and you will do it again. The supplements and the CDs are really great at helping with the cravings. I hope you will check them out. And being on these boards is a huge help too!! Look forward to getting to know you.....:welcome:

Hi Mini

Welcome from me too! As Lush said, you've been there before and you'll get there again, especially if you can find the tools to help support your obvious motivation and your desire to be sober again! Don't be hard on yourself - it's a battle, but with professional help, with medication/supplements/hypno (whatever you find works for you), and with the amazing support and inspitation you find from people here, you'll be back on track again and reclaiming your life.

All the best and look forward to hearing how it all goes - keep posting!
