Hello everyone
I have been a member of MWO since November 2006, after I had my first baby girl. I suffered from post natal depression and drinking became my "Calm". It quickly got out of hand and I gradually went from 1 bottle of wine a night to buying boxes, not really knowing how much I was consuming. I definately knew I had a problem but couldn't give up. I decided to moderate, I then fell pregnant and stopped drinking completely. Since the birth of my beautiful daughter in November 2007 my post natal depression returned with a vengence. I am on ADs but my coping mechanism stupidly became my old friend alcohol. So here I am, my daughter is only 5 months old and I am aware my drinking is becoming a big problem again. I have been drinking about a bottle of wine every night (at the weekend more). My husband isn't a big drinker and would love nothing more than me to be able to stop or moderate. I decided on Sunday morning after having too much on Saturday night to try 30 days AF and joined the monthly abstinence board. I lasted 1 night as yesterday I suffered from horrible withdrawal and cravings which really shook me up. I went to my doctors this morning to talk through what I need to do. He advised that I should wean myself off week by week, dropping a glass of wine each week. So not really knowing where I should be on this board I thought maybe this was the best place for me. At this moment in time I'm not sure what I want regarding total abstinence or moderation. I know I don't want to be drinking the way I am now. So can I join this board? I would love to be able to talk to people who are moderating as well and share my feelings and hopefully receive and maybe give some advice in the future. Thanks for listening and I look forward to hearing from you all. XXXXSeto
