Alcohol How do i stop??

[nocando]

Hi have name changed for this but basically dh going through real bad time with his health at the mo & the only way i can get through is by drinking 1 bottle plus wine per night. YES I know this isn't the right thing to do so please don't judge me that way, what I need is constructive advice in how to cut down

Poor you- not judging. I don't know the answer, but would suggest AA.
Can you go cold turkey and just not buy it?

may be completely off the point here...

Could you buy half bottles or small bottles from the shop each day rather than several bottles a week? That way you have some there if you really want it but won't have the opportunity to get to the bottom of an actual bottle? Depends how close you are to shops though and whether you'd go out in the evening to get more.

have you got a friend you can confide in in RL who you can phone etc after maybe having had 1 glass, if you are tempted/desperate for more?

Can you alternate a glass of wine with a glass of juice, or a soft drink?

I still think controlling the amount you buy is the answer- if you cut back to 2 bottles a week and no more then it's not in the house.

Try the Brave Babes thread in Relationships. Lots of tips and support and no judgypants!

Hi Nocando come and join the Brave babes in relationships, but first step is to stop drinking tonight, brush your teeth twice and have a large glass of water and go to bed.

Tomorrow have a PLAN: get soft drinks that you like, ice, sliced lemon, whatever, to go with said drink, keep busy, have a long bath, go to bed super early.
So sorry to hear about your troubles, and I know the wine seems like a fix at the time, but nothing is improved by sinking a load of wine and suffering with a hangover the next day. Have a read through Brave Babes and see if you like the support that is offred there.
