I've name changed today sorry .
Well here goes- Im 47 and somehow ended up drinking a bottle of wine most nights .
Am noticing that Im not concentrating as well at work and def not being the best parent / friend or girlfriend i could be .

I got divorced last year after a long and unhappy marriage.
Have sorted out everything myself over 4 years.... the children , the divorce, the finances and lastly the house .
Ive even met a lovely man which i never expected.
So its everything Ive wanted for years and years.
So why am i drinking so much now ?
Its a habit i hope not an an addiction .
The only time i dont drink is when i cant. Ive noticed that when i cant Im moody but no physical symtoms .
I think Im just scared of taking the plunge of that first alcohol free night ?
The first thing i do is pour a drink after work.

Anyone want to not drink this evening with me for the first time in too long ?

Hi trooper I'm on ads and reducing them recently wasn't good so I'm on my usual dose
My priority at the moment is managing booze.
I've been on 'the alcohol experiment' for over 2 weeks and it's superb. Have a google and see if it might help you too
Good luck with it all
