Hi All,
Just a little bit about myself, I was known as Aroundtwit who did eventually get around to it and have stopped drinking for just over 9 weeks, I have changed my name to Carolb now so its a new beginning and its onwards and upwards from here in.
I feel as if I have a very addictive personality so whatever I have done I have taken it to the limit I got to 14stone10lb by overeating and then stopped and have gone the other way and am now 7stone, I started smoking and got to 40 a day but thankfully stopped that 7 years ago and then I started drinking in 1995 getting worse and worse until I stopped on Boxing Day 09 so any ideas on a postcard what I can give up or take up next lol.
I can admit that I absolutely loved drinking and miss it more than anything else I have given up but its my own fault if I can`t be sensible and I can`t, one isn`t enough and once started I would end up in total blackout every night, I can`t even say that I ever drank that much but with my weight so low even a couple would knock me for six, my skin was shot as were my eyes and don`t even mention my memory what memory?
I gave up several times with the help of this fantastic site but each time I thought I had it under control I went back I ended up drinking even more each time, anyway to cut a long story short I totally excelled myself running up to Xmas and ended up with the worse pain ever in my liver area and couldn`t even reach, pick up or even turn over in bed, it put the fear of God in me that I would never see my family again and it was then I knew that was my wake up call to stop, I was given a warning and it was up to me to act upon it and I have and know that this is it for me.
It has been hard getting through these Winter nights without a wee drink and I am dreading Summer as all it reminds me of is sitting out late on the patio watching the sun go down whilst drinking but I know I shall manage as I should never want that pain again knowing it was self inflicted.
I also want to say a big thankyou to everyone who helps on this site, to me it is like having the 4th emergency service at hand 24 hours a day, I think we forget that it takes a lot of time for people to be helping others even when they have their own problems, I won`t name names as we know who they are so a big pat on the back to each and every one of them.
I hope I haven`t bored you all and well done and keep going to all who are trying so hard to kick this habit to the wall it can be done.
luv Carol x
