To think I have a drink problem

[Life350]

So every 2-3 days I drink between 1-2 bottles
I don’t do anything other than feel relaxed
I don’t cause any harm but it’s making me feel very low

I have a dd12
mig I ask for help will they refer me to social services

Bottles of what? Beer/wine/vodka? I was drinking too much wine and decided to do dry Jan. I had a couple if events (hen and wedding) that I decided I would drink at but otherwise no wine.i drink at the hen but not the wedding. I already feel less dependant. Could you try similar?

If you go to your GP he will refer you to local charities that can help and support you. You should do this before your drinking really gets out of control.
Alternatively go online and find your local AA meeting.

2-3 bottles of what, OP? Have you tried stopping or reducing your intake? If so, how did that go?

Fear of social services shouldn’t stop you seeking help - they won’t remove a happy safe child from their parents. AA meetings might be a way to go if you need support to stop and haven’t been able to do it alone.

You say you only feel relaxed,yet the drinking makes you feel low. You've put out some feelers,you are asking for our help,so that's a start,and you already feel it's a problem. Possibly difficult to get GP appointment at the moment,yes, some online help

You don't need "help". You need to just stop doing it. If you were in a critical state where it would be dangerous to stop suddenly you might be given a tranquiliser while you "detox" at home for a week . Otherwise you will be referred to some charity. Only YOU can stop doing it - don't medicalise it, just stop it. Alcohol causes anxiety and depression in the long run, by the way.

I've seen a 40 year old die of alcohol related liver failure, a 45 year old die of a stroke after 2 days of Delirium Tremens where they refused to go to hospital. These were my university friends. It's the worst suffering I've ever seen and the end point to alcoholism is death, unless you intervene.

It's a roller coaster, and you need to jump off now, because a point gets reached where it is extraordinarily difficult to stop. Despite what is seen in the media about people going to "Detox" to get "clean", it is very rarely successful, and most alcoholics relapse.
