A nice glass of wine at lunch time

[shamefacedandstupid]

How lovely, to be able to enjoy a relaxing and refreshing glass of wine with lunch.

Or perhaps it is two glasses, or perhaps a bottle shared with a friend for a special occasion.

Or perhaps, like me you are lonely, and you open a bottle and drink it all.

Please help.

Here for you shamefaced do you want to talk?

Thats a very sad post.

Anything we can do ?

shamefaced, there is a dependent drinkers thread on here somewhere if you need to talk to someone who has been where you are.

Oh shamefaced that is very sad. I'm afraid I don't know a great deal about these things but I do believe that acknowledgement of the problem is the first step to getting better.

Good luck.

Completely identify with you, SFS.

And also identify how easy it is to order a drink because you kid yourself you're the former when you know deep down you're the latter ...

My life used to be horrible because of drink.

I stopped drinking, I don't miss it any more or less than I miss getting beaten up at primary school, and my life is immeasurably happier now.

Let me know if that sounds interesting to you and we can talk more.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Lemme see if I can find the old thread.

Lots of support there.

Keep talking.

We're here (although I've got a cup of tea in front of me ).

PS re your name - perhaps you think you're stupid in general, in which case I can't judge - but rest assured that, if you have a problem with drink, that does not make you stupid. It means you have a recognised illness which, while not fun, can be treated.

Some interesting and supportive people:
here.

Everyone ok?

Hope you are okay SFS, bumping this message up to the top for you
