Just that really. I have had a series of major life stresses - divorce and subsequent court cases, debt as a result, brother diagnosed with incurable brain tumour, both elderly parents had ops andcaring for them, eldest daughter in an abusive relationship, middle one diagnosed epileptic and suffering severe seizures, youngest just gone to uni, wrapped up in the stress of a house move which has hit legal issues and recently cut my foot open which resulted in hospital, stitches, in pain and can't walk or drive. As a result this week I have been turning to drink, bottle of wine night, still functioning, working etc but really don't want this to become a longer term pattern, how do I address this??

OP, it’s the wheel of life. Sometimes you’re at the top, sometimes at the bottom, but it never stays still. Things will get better and you’ll move past this stage.
Can you use this as a push to do something positive for yourself every evening?
