Hello Adam, I’m in the UK too. I’ve only been a member since Friday and am already amazed by the support on here. I can totally relate to the effect alcohol has had on you, I denied I had a problem for many years, having absolutely no understanding of what alcohol dependency was. Even when my wife expressed some genuine, kind concern my response would be “Well I’m not exactly pouring vodka on my cornflakes am I?” assuming that because I was able to get up and work every day I didn’t have problem.
I have to admit that I have massively underestimated just how hard it is, having already made some schoolboy errors since Friday! I have stopped before through the help of my local free counselling service which I have re-signed up to and am starting again soon and I thoroughly recommend this.
Feel free to message me any time, and best of luck!
