I don't drink every day but when I do I can't just have 1. Fed up of feeling like this 2 or 3 times a week. My intake increased during lockdown last year and I just can't seem to get it under control. I do Dry Jan every year no problem, but I've come to the realisation I need to stop completely - for the sake of my husband and kids.The day after a drinking session I feel anxious, I'm short tempered with my kids, and generally feel down.
I've read all the quit lit over the last few years but maybe I need to re-read?
Wine is my nemisis. I can have 1 cider or lager and not want anymore, but with wine, 1 glass is never enough and 2 is too many (because it usually ends up being 3 or 4). I'm probably drinking 30-35 units a week. It always ramps up over the summer holidays though. I like the routine of school and work etc, so when that is removed I struggle and end up over-indulging more often. During term time I usually only drink Friday, Sat and Sunday...but even that is too much!
Anyway, I'm going to use this thread to stay accountable to myself. Anyone want to join me?
