Hi there,
I really need help to stop binge drinking. I can go for weeks (recently 7 weeks) with no alcohol at all and then I get access to money (dh keeps the money and bank cards at my request so I can't use them - he's not financially abusing me, it's my choice) but then I somehow (ok deliberately by looking at card numbers in the supermarket or hoarding change) get access to cash and it goes on drink. Mainly vodka. Lots of it - last binge this week past I had 2l vodka over 3 days. Really it's a miracle I'm not dead.
Currently my 15 and 17 year olds are not talking to me, dh is being nice, dd1 (19, lives away from home) is being really nice and coming home tomorrow to see me.
This has to stop. What can I do? I've no idea how to do anything any more. I know the answer is just stop, but I really don't know how. I'm in counselling at the priory. AA didn't work, tried for months but couldn't engage (I believe it doesn't work for 1/3 of people).
Any support would be welcome. If only to tell me what an arse I am.
