Hello,
My story, well, where to start. I always enjoyed a drink as a teenager/early twenties, mum and dad always drank at home, dad more than mum but it was a normal part of life. Dad was a fairly heavy drinker and smashed the house up one Christmas eve due to drink, although very remorseful the next day us 3 children have never forgotten it. So on I went enjoying a few drinks at the weekend with my mates, girly holidays and nights out were part of the fun.
I got married aged 23 and that was great then my dad died when I was 26, christ that was a real shit time and I drank myself into oblivion for most of that year! My husband and I split for a while, I don't think he could cope with my moods and drinking late into the night.
Then we got back together and started trying for a family....... well that was a even bigger shit time, I didn't get pregnant and after 2 years of tests hit the bottle again big time. I was so depressed and desparate but no one would have ever known how low I got. All my friends having babies one after the other none of them knowing my pain and hurt, always the godmother never the mum!
I went right off the rails getting falling down drunk at every opportunity, snogging men I didn't know, some I did and basically making a complete twat of myself.
Well 8 years on I actually got pregnant and stopped drinking and gave birth to my gorgeous boy 5 years ago. I had slowed down with the drinking and then after a short while it went back to the usual 2 bottles of wine a night, although no longer falling down drunk was still drinking way too much.
I am committed to moderating but only manage to go 3-4 days AF and then start on the wine again.
It's not much of a story, but it's my story and it makes me who I am. I want to be AF and enjoy life and I am determined to get the thing called AL beaten.
Wish me luck guys xx
