In the beginning I read everything I could get my hands on that dealt with alcoholism. Alcohol was my enemy, and I wanted to learn every thing I could.
Outstanding job!

A nice relaxing wkend planned much needed. Hubby asking do I want a bottle of red to which the reply was no thank you. That isnt supporting me he appologised. Why dont people take you serious when you tell them your stoping drinking ? Maybe because they have heard it so many times before but this time for the sake of my anxiety & depression I will do this.

I also think the fact that alcohol is such a big part of society (for lots of people anyway) that some people just don’t get it. And there is a perception of an alcoholic/problem drinker being someone who drinks all day every day.
But at the end of the day, no one else can make us drink. That’s all on us, we have the power to choose. And all we have to do is choose not to have that first drink
