My Introduction
I am 42 years old and have been drinking heavily for the past 4-5 years. By heavy drinking I mean 1 bot red wine and 1/2 bot spirit. I pour half of the red wine into a large glass - so it ends up as two helpings. The wine is pretty much done and dusted 45 mins - 1 hour, and thats when I hit the spirits. I could easily pour myself a couple of inches, put a dash of zero and have that consumed very quickly - I have to pace myself.
When I sleep, I mean sleep. I crash out. I wake up in the mornings totally dehydrated. Recently I have found that during the daytime I have been having the shakes, and even some muscle twitches in the legs - which a few times has brought me to the floor.
Why am I here? I want to learn from you folk on how to become sober and enjoy the lifestyle with it. I dont want to drink anymore. Tonight is my first night - its 5:55pm now and normally I am home by 6:30pm on the wine. Tonight I am going to spend some time reading the stickies in this forum and hope I can sleep.
Can anyone help?
