Need a little support..

[alwaystryingneverwinning]

I am currently on day one of trying not to drink, I have been over the top this school holidays, jumped on the Gin bandwagon, hot all sorts of different types, always had a different one to try.
Drank too much a few times, most recently this wknd, and have been hurtful and dam right obnoxious to a very much loved friend. We haven't talked it through yet and we are sending polite what's apps, she has agreed that it was the demon drink and I have apologised profusely.
I just hate that 'beer fear' and hate myself for not knowing my limits.
I've put all the gin away, I've bought various 'soft' drink options and I'm hoping to find support here.
Thanks for reading..

@Gordonsgrin I'm on day 27 today. Come and join us on Day 1 for anyone starting out thread. There's a few of us all in different numbers of days supporting each other.

I hope you're ok

Thanks for the kind responses. It is all so hard, in my life it has been one trauma after another, it reads like a soap opera plot to the extent I can’t bear to write it all down. Most pressing is the worry over my wonderful, clever, kind, astute 18 year old son battling serious mental health illness. Just the next thing in a long long list of family worries.
However, I went out for a walk with my husband and have had a lovely supper and feel better for it.
Have manage to stay off the drink so there’s victory. (Mother and my brother died at 60 and 27 from alcohol abuse)

Finding joy in something small, like taking a walk etc is a big step. I'm glad today has improved ❤️
