Hello I am new here. I'm in my mid 20's female and have been an alcoholic for 8 years. My relationship has broken up because of my drinking and I am desperately sad, I am also ashamed of the way I treated my ex partner due to my drinking (who is now happy with someone else) I drink every other day - lots of strong lager - no idea why I have to
I told my doctor about my concerns a couple of years ago and he just told me to keep a diary of my drinking habits. I self reffered myself to a drugs centre and they have told me that there is medication available that stops cravings - does anyone know anything about this? Does it work? I am about to go to my first AA meeting tomorrow? As I drink almost every day would it be good to go to one say 5 times a week?
Thanks for any help. I think I will like it here.
