I have never posted here before, I am a very private person and this is hard and embarrassing. My husband and I had a really bad year and it lead to me binge drinking with rapidly increasing frequency. Things have gotten better and my husband and I are reconnected and finally getting over our hard times as a team. I hadn’t drank in a while and thought I could handle cocktails normally again but one lead to too many and I woke up with a hangover. A few months of moderate drinking to cope has quickly turned into a bad habit and I am ready to give it up completely. My life is finally in a happy place and i dont want an alcohol habit to cause new problems. My husband has been wonderful and understanding. I’m not feeling as fragile and wanted to step out of my comfort zone and post something to this community of others who have decided to cut alcohol from their life. This will be harder than I want it to be, so I’m glad I found this forum for advice and encouragement. My kids, my husband and myself need me to be happy, healthy, and alcohol free.
