Hi I'm a newbie here.
Day 8 of sobriety.
Have been drinking for 5 years. Started with a glass of wine and for the last 2 years a bottle and a half every night. No hangovers helped alot! I don't think I've had a sober night in at least 3 years.
Have tried moderation, but never worked, even when I didn't drink wine I would substitute beer, and even then all I could think about was the next bottle of wine.
My GP is supervising my withdrawls and touch wood am doing okay.
Your stories here are so inspiring and supportive. I am so pleased to have found this site.
