hi, im doing dry January, this will be very hard for me as i have drank every sinlge night for the last 2 and a half years, not just one glass of wine, i drink either two bottles of white wine a night, or most recently 1 bottle of white wine and 6 pints of beer.
i want to stop for my health, for my kids, and for a better ( cheaper) future.my husband also drinks on the evening but not as much as me.
i never ever remember going to bed or what happened after 9pm.
i wake up every day feeling guilty and discusting, but im a good mum, and do everything like a normal mum would, but when the kids are in bed, theat when i think ahh relax with a drink.
every occaision is for drinking, birthdays, christmas, feeling sad, happy, mad upset, drink solves it all, although it doesnt does it.
we spend about £140 a week on alcohol, were not skint, but were not rich either and this upsets me that we spend that much.
Day 3 and im doing ok, im always ok during the day but the cravings hit at 6pm , ive been distracting my self at this time and it seems to help,
good luck everyone
