Hi everyone.
I don't know how I got to this stage in my life....but alcohol addiction has been a long slow road and an insidious one.
Gone are the days when I would drink to have fun and to boost my confidence amongst people, today i often drink alone or with my husband behind closed doors. Today i seem to drink to alleviate stress and anxiety or to make me feel happier. I often drink until i pass out. I am then sick for a day or two and then have another night of binging.
I've just relocated to a new city where I have no social contacts and I don't work. The loneliness and the boredom is getting to me as my husband works long hours.
I've lost a lot of friends over the years as I'm not a "nice" drunk and strangely I've become increasingly socially phobic as the years have rolled by. This I don't understand.
Now reached the stage where i need a life style change. I need to stop the drinking completely as I know I can't control it any more. I hope that this site will help me in my endeavour.
