Thanks LaFemme. Erm, I'm not really sure at the moment what the plan is. 1 day at a time i guess? I haven't yet looked into support groups in my area but I guess that would be the next step. Kinda scary but probably very necessary.

I'm holding out hope that I can do it myself first. I've never ever tried to stop drinking before. As soon as the shame would fade from some God-awful alcohol-soaked event then I would be back at the pub or trotting down to the local off-licence without a care in the world. Justification is always along the lines of "stressful job = i deserve a bottle of wine" or "oh another boyfriend bites the dust = i'm depressed I deserve a bottle of wine". The myriad of excuses one can make up is quite amazing.
