Hello
Hi there.
I'm a (almost) 39yo female from the UK.
sober coming up 16 weeks, did a home detox with my partner. We are both doing really well.
sometimes questioned wether we were alcoholic or binge drinkers. Never drank before 4pm (unless it was the weekend) but then would sink my own body weight in beer of an evening. Every night for 14 years, only remaining sober when pregnant twice. But, as my counsellor put it, if it costs you more than money then you're an alcoholic. I've done some stupid things, almost lost my job as well (functioning alcoholic?), return to work tomorrow to a demotion after 6 months suspension/sacked.
I attend a 3 weekly group which finishes this week then I move onto a living sober group. I don't go to AA.
