[Catmum41]

for as long back as i can remember i’ve been a party girl. however im now 47 and feel it’s catching up with me. im tired all the time feel unattractive and not present. my partner also loves a drink so it doesn’t take much and we encourage each other. i dont even know why i do it it doesn’t make me feel good just sends me to sleep on the sofa. i’m tired and just want to be me again and enjoy life

Hello @Catmum41 Have you had a look at this long-running thread? It's helped me enormously and is very active, full of encouragement, advice and support from people who have been where you are now.

I was an every day wine drinker, rarely obviously drunk and had desperately wanted to stop drinking for ages. This lovely group of sober women helped me and I'm now two months in and feeling better and more positive than I have done in years 😊
