This morning I woke with another hangover as I have drunk 13 out of the last 14 nights. A bottle of wine most nights- more last nights as I was at a friends house.
Before that I hadn't drunk for 6 weeks as I was pregnant. I am 45 & have 4 fabulous kids. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago as well & hit the bottle big time then- it didn't help then & it is not helping now. I have drunk on & off since I was 14. When I met my husband 25 years ago I was drinking alot 'socially' but he didn't drink at all. I stopped then for a year & when I was pregnant. For the last 10 years & have drunk a bottle of wine 3-6 nights a week- and felt pretty bad most days.
I have had high blood pressure for 10 years & have battled with my weight since I was 17- but especially the last 10 years.
Mondays at work are always a struggle from a few glasses of wine on a Sunday> I try not to have too much wine in the house but my husband likes a glass with dinner. Id there is not enough then I sneakily have some whiskey in some juice- I always feel shocking after wine & whiskey. But I can't stop myself- it is like I can't stand to be sober once I start drinking.
I used to be able to stop drinking for a few weeks a couple of times a year but only lasted 2 days when I tried in January.
There have been times that I have had a few glasses of wine & then one of my kids will want a lift & I will have to drive them. I know there wont be any police because of where I live but it is really dangerous & stupid, but I could never say that I have had too much to drink. I know I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to anyone because of my drinking, but can't seem to stop myself. I am feeling out of control- but very relieved to be here.
I had to cancel my work today because of my hangover. This has never happened before & is a bit scary.
I have ordered the downloadable book but haven't received it yet- I thought it would be instant. I hope it will help to get me on the right track.
Looking forward to meeting lots of you & looking forward to some support. My friends are great but love to drink like it is some kind of sport! But most of them can live without it most of the time.

Thanks for reading.
