My son

[tvsnacks]

Filmed me on phone.. showed me. Kill me now.

Do you mean he filmed you whilst you were drunk?

I expect that he must be worried about you.

Yep drunk. Just happy but i am so embarressed. He Think it is so funny. I wish i was dead..

Why did he do it? Is he worried about you? What age is he?

Almost 17. I am so ashamed i rather not ask him. I went to bed last Night and today i am stopping. That was the bottom.

How much do you normally drink?
I got to the point I was drinking every night, not getting drunk but having a few glasses of wine. I've started slimming world again so have decided to stop drinking for the moment. Today is day 3 and my sleep has improved already and I like waking up feeling refreshed.
Good luck with stopping we're here to support you

It will get better. There are good facebook groups for support.

Atleast a bottle of Wine a Night. But preferebly more .
And Wine is in box. So hard to know excately. Sometimes i start to drink early.
I Can easily stop for days. But then im out of the Fog and Can pretend it is just one glass, and just because..
and here we go again.
I Think i have to stop completely and i am not sure i Can. Or want?
Fuck!

Have you sought help for your drinking problem? Your gp would be a good starting point.

I Will. A friend is coming later, we Will talk and i take it from there.
What is the best medicine? I am very anxious and use alcohol as a help. And it does help. Untill it is not, and i am drowning in shame.

A couple of months ago I was drinking more than was fun. My kids, went to their dad and I was just fed up with the amount of time I wasted simply sitting drinking. On here the book, 'control your drinking', was recommended. I only read one chapter. It explained how alcohol is basically poison. I've had almost nothing to drink since then. The change in my face is unbelievable. Not quite sure what but I don't look as haggered. The best change is the quality of sleep that I now enjoy. I slept like I was dead for the first 2 weeks. It was amazing. I haven't stopped drinking forever but it a little bit repulse me now. I'm still eating too much shit but one thing at a time.

Can you find a reason to stop for you - that will enhance your life? Rather than it's bad for me, it looks bad, it's embarrassing, waste of money.
I realised I dozed in front of the tv every night, couldn't follow the programmes as I fell asleep, the effect of the initial couple of glasses - lovely feeling of happiness and success, fizzled quickly to dopey ness.
So I planned things for the evenings, reading a new magazine, going for a short walk, jigsaw (not easy to do jigsaws when half cut) - so I would look forward to what I planned for the evening to stop me reaching for the bottle.

Sounds horrible OP. Come on over to this thread:

I've only been on it a couple of weeks and everyone has been so helpful and friendly and wise.

It'll be okay - you've hit your turning point now, you can and will be able to change

Thank you all. I didnt drink last Night , it was easy as i feel so bad, but soon i Will be back to "Well just one glass, and only because" - is there not a pill for this? They Can fly to the Moon , surely there must be a pill for stopping theese thoughts??
I cant fight myself for the rest of my life??

No there isnt a pill.

The stopping drinking pill makes you vomit if you drink booze. If drinking due to mental health there are anti depressants.

I’m four and a half years into recovery. Those thoughts do fade. They actually fade quite quickly. I got sober via the Priory and AA and a complete mental breakdown. I knew I was done. (I relapsed and drove drunk, writing off my car).

It does get easier. By the end of the everyday drinking i was barely sober and couldn’t tell the difference between day and night. It does get better though. I promise that.

I stopped drinking after reading Alcohol Lied to Me by Craig Beck. Just like a switch had been flicked. After ten years of trying to stop.

The thought of stopping forever is scary but why don’t you try 30 days to start with? Then see how you feel.

You say you’ve done “a few days” but that really isn’t enough to feel any difference.

Try 30 days and see how you feel! I’m on day 61 now and feel amazing! You might not even need pills to help with your anxiety, you’ll feel so much less anxious once you’re no longer drinking.

Good luck!

My husband brew 4 sorts of beer, 3 types of Wine , mjød and shots of this and that. And he has no problem with just one or 2. And then stop. He is very healthy and very working.
Im not. And it is so easy with all this all around ...

Everybody is different. I usually find that if you drink for emotional reasons tha actually enjoying the taste and feeling then that really spirals v quick.

And? I absolutely do it for emotionel reasons - any tips? 😂

Well i was trying to say you shouldnt compare your drinking to his. As i said there are support groups on facebook.
