I have tried so much so "control" my drinking but i think the only way out for me is to stop. I am Irish and i usually drink a bottle of wine a night with my wife, and usually more at the weekends once afternoons out in the sun are taken into consideration.
I have had 5 blackouts in the last couple of years and came extremely close to losing my then girlfriend (now wife) , and am slowly loosing my focus when it comes to my reading and doing other things - usually we sit at home and watch TV and drink. I used to read a lot and play music, now I don't.
THis makes us sound unhappy, we aren't but I don't want to lose what used to make me "me". I don't want to feel befuddled in the mornings any more, i don't want to feel the need to drink to "relax". I just want to be me - and an alcohol free me.
I hope this forum will help
