a few home truths

[Honey Barbara]

Hi - I am a social drinker - or so I thought until i realised the alcohol free days were getting harder and harder. Have been having weeks off and then starting again but felling like **** after a weekend of wine.
When did I start having wine at luch time??
Plan to quit for a few weeks and then make some decisions about my life.
Need all the help advice support I can get.
P.s well done Lola

Well done on wanting to change your drinking habbits! You have already taken the first steps. Depending on your drinking history, you may just want to pop in here from time to time when you feel like drinking to help stay away from the wine. I do not know about meetings being you may not be an alcoholic,but there are open meetings anyone can attend. It's a real eye opener to see what you do not what to become. Welcome to the site by the way and i hope you come back to post and let us know how you are doing!

ThanksThat's so lovely.
I think a meeting would be a good idea but I live very very remote for a few months of the year. I will be in the City in about one months time, so I will go then.
Can I ask a silly question - Are the meetings full of cigarette smoke - the way it's depicted on films. I am going to make myself sound really pedantic and tell you that I hate cigarette smoke as much as I love wine.
I do plan to pop in here when I want a wine. thanks again.
So - day 2 - I just went for a run & I wasn't struggling through something like a hangover. I feel great. I am worried about day 4 - as that's usually when I start drinking again.
You will probably see me then.
Thanks again
Honey Barbxx

There are several online meetings that might supplement your program. If interested please contact me. They were my lifeline when I suffered from depression and was isolating.
