Hi Breugal
I drank when I was sad, and drank when I was happy too - I drank to self medicate, I drank to celebrate I drank to commiserate and I drank to stave off boredom.
I ended up drinking for a lot of reasons, some valid and some utterly ridiculous.
The really good news is I didn't really have to know why I drank in order to stop
You'll find a lot of help and support here to stop too
