Deliveroo keep giving me too much wine.

[tvbracket]

This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks where I have ordered various items from deliveroo and have included in my order 2 bottles of 187cl wine. I only order these 2 tiny small glass size bottles because I really can't handle my alcohol this is the second time they have turned up with 2 x 750 cl of wine for me. First time I debated phoning the shop to point out the mistake, but was worried I might get a store assistant in to trouble so I said nothing.....I just got hammered. Tonight, before my order arrived the shop owner phoned me to apologise that he was sold out of the brand I ordered and he would send a different brand instead. He was so lovely and apologetic that I can't possibly call back and explain his major mistake here. I don't have work tomorrow. I'm just finishing off a bit of DIY (painting etc). I really need not to drink this 😳😳😳😂

Omg thank you everyone who has commented. I was trying to make it a jokey thread, but I know I have a problem.

That’s rough. You’re trying to get on top of it but stuck at home with no distractions and a full bottle of wine.
Its impossible to try and moderate in these circs. Do you think you could stop for the duration of the lockdown?

If you usually drink every day though, call your GP and get medical support to stop safely. Alcohol withdrawal can be fatal.

If you can’t leave those bottles of wine alone and they’re gone by morning, would you call your GP and get some extra support?
It sounds like you’re ready to get a grip on this.

OP, can you order a low / no alcohol wine if abstinence seems too hard?

Sometimes, specially watching TV when everyone seems to be drinking, I want a bottle glass of wine, and low alcohol satisfies the craving.

The one about being on the phone to samaritans for half an hour after one glass did make me chuckle.

I was like you. It is only downhill from here. It will just get worse and worse.

Unless you stop. Then it gets better.

Finished 750mls. Onto 2nd 750mls.

I already have no friends and no job. My excuse is that was a victim of a serious and horrific crime 2 years ago. Since then.....well... I just can't cope. People try to talk sense to me.....and I just get angry because they cannot possibly understand. Well, they have done their best.....but they have given up! Even more excuses for me to drink.....not only was I a victim of a terrible crime, but now everyone hates me to. Pass the wine ☹️

Pour the rest away, you can do it and get yourself to bed.

You need to walk to the sink right now and pour the wine down the drain.

There are other support groups out there. You have to find the right one for you.

Yeah I'm getting into the self pity stage now...

My life would be a billion times better without alcohol! Deliveroo mistake 🤔

This is a sad thread. Pour the wine away OP. You can’t help what happened to you, but you can do the right thing for yourself now —and stop. You’re worth that. Whatever someone else did to you, doesn’t devalue your intrinsic worth as a person and you need to get help to see that. But right now you need to stop overthinking, pour away whatever is left, have some water and go to bed.

Please pour the rest away right now. You know it’s not going to make you feel better. Pour it away and go to bed.

Op I hope your ok.

What a sad thread

Pour it away op.

Are you getting any therapy for the awful things that happened to you?

It's a shame you look at your local substance abuse service that way. I figured we were all there for the same reason, no judgement. You don't know their story.

Do they not offer 1-2-1 counselling? Mine did.

It's a slippery slope to full dependence and trust me, you don't want to know what physical dependence feels like.
