Im worried i have a problem. I know i drink too much and have been making an effort to cut down.
So last week i drank as follows
Mon/tues nothing, wed half bottle red, thurs nothing, friday 2 glasses red, sat (at a party) 2 red, 1 prosecco, 3/4 gins (did drink water in between) sun 2 red. Nothing since then.
In previous weeks i would drink 3 to 4 bottles of wine between wed and sunday.
I have had a rotten headache and bad sleep (tho thats normal)since monday ive read on here that can be a sign of withdrawel. Ive had a craving like when i gave up cigs. However i have loads of alcohol in the house and im not drinking it.
My dad was an alcoholic - drank from.when he woke up to when he went to bed. Would dribk anything - cheap cider beer etc. All he thought about was whete his next drink was coming from. He didnt work due to this. I dont want to become him.
Also to add i do suffer from health anxiety where every little symptom is something worse. If i read something i can find a symptom somewhere.
I do want to cut down but would ratheer not stop completely. Thanks for readimg and any advice you may be able to give
