regular poster bit worried

[drinktoomuch]

Hi. I wonder if anyone has a similar problem. I'm a bit worried a drink too much. I usually have two thirds of a bottle of wine a night (more than that if I go out). I know that isn't that excessive but I find it very hard to have a night free of alcohol. I also compulsively eat too and can't seem to get out of the binge cycle.

yes I do. He's nice but not the best massager in the world.

No but I'm thinking about the putting something in your mouth angle (well, it is after 10.30pm!)

I find not having the substance of temptation in the house helps alot.

Have u ever tried drinking non alcoholic wine... sparkling grape juice as a substitute.

Drink weak chilled lager instead - works for me. Wine is lovely, I agree, but too strong if you drink more than a glass or two.

wow i'm so gald more people have posted, especially Jan and Bubble99. I don't feel so alone now. I too find it very hard not to have wine in the fridge and agree if I manage not to have a glass after ds is in bed I can go an evening without. It's willpower I guess which I lack!

I had my 3rd alcohol-free night last night - only the second time I've gone that long in 2 and a half years.

It's a bad habit - gotta break it. Feel wonderful today and yesterday although the first dry night, I slept dreadfully.

Didnt someone once suggest having two / three dry nights a week and one dry week in every four and if you find that a struggle then perhaps a rethink of habits is required.

I used to drink far more than i do now, but since dd have cut right back (and incidentally now weigh half a stone less than i did pre baby but i sag in all the wrong places and I attribute that to drinking less)
