I found this site quite by chance when "Googling" AA. I need to stop drinking. I have been drinking to excess for most of my adult life and having spent 20 years in the military it's not even perceived as a problem. 'Mystery bruises' are even seen as a badge of honour! Well, NO MORE.
I am a single parent to a five year old who has behavioural problems and swings between being overly loving and swearing and throwing things at me. I have no family and my step-father died late last year. I had to clear the house and it was blatantly obvious his family resented me. (he left the house to me). I have been off work for 3 months with depression and am taking Prozac, my doctor has just doubled the dose to 40mg and I see a counsellor weekly. Last week I mentioned my drinking and decided I'd 'cut down' as since I have been off work I have been drinking more heavily (always in the evening approx 2+ bottles of wine EVERY evening). Well, I couldn't cut down so it gave me a real wake up call. I phoned AA and a lovely lady came to see me yesterday, her story seems to reflect mine. I am so scared they are going to take my boy away from me......but then maybe he'd be better without me? - Probably at the moment but I'm going to change. It's day 2 AF today (but then I did have a hangover yesterday!!) - I'm a big internet user so hope this community will help.
Can I take the supplements with Prozac? - I'll check with my GP on Thursday (I called him yesterday to admit my drink problem). How long does the package take to get to UK?
Hope to speak to you soon and hopefully I'll cheer up! Sorry to sound all doom and gloom!:new:
