We can only do so much with no details.

Well I basically been drinking for 4 years I was never a everyday drinker but of course when I do it gets out of hand. I thought I was doing better just allowing myself 4 shots but past few times I keep wanting more.

Well good news is you just took the first step in getting better. Just admitting you need help is a huge step. Have you looked up any programs in your area?

#7

I can understand that. Did you blow up your life recently because of drinking?

#8

No not yet but I probably will

It’s just ruining my life I use to be a fit very bubbly person. Now I always want to stay home because I don’t trust myself to be out or I’ll go grab a bottle. I know I worry my family and my health is now terrible.

Aa.org has a meeting finder. I know AA doesn't appeal to everyone but it is a good start. Try to hit up a meeting today.

Hi Gigi, my body could never handle daily drinking, but I still got worse and developed into a person with severe alcohol use disorder over the course of 15 years because of my binge drinking patterns with my trauma. It's okay to feel like you might not have an okay relationship with alcohol. People here will be happy to talk about that in posts with you. Me too!

Gigi, no one here will judge you because we have all been there. Determine what triggers you to drink and develop the tools to help you avoid taking that first drink. For me, my trigger is 5:00 quitting time at work. I used to get a pint every evening and drink until it’s gone. I would wake up every morning with a hangover and no knowledge of what I had done the night before. Now, when I get home from work, I pore a glass of cold seltzer water (tip I learned from this app) drink it and it is very helpful in helping me say no to the vodka. Then I focus on how nice it is to get up every morning knowing what I did the night before
