New here, desperate to quit alcohol
Hello. I'm a 40 year old male in Australia. I've been drinking heavily for around d 14 years. It started with a bottle of wine a night and stayed that way for at least 10 years but in the last few months, I've been drinking over that, sometimes almost 2 bottles (13% white wine)
I know this may not be a lot compared to others but for me its become a problem. I always think, I'll make this my last night for a while, but the next night I always end up drinking. I can't seem to stop myself.
I've had ultra sound scans on my tummy last year and they came up with no issues. However I always have a dull pain in my right side of abdomen. Recently I also noticed white spots on my nails, Terrys nails on my feet and I am getting a little dizzy.
While I am not massively worried as am sure once I completely stop, my health will improve, today I have made a serious decision to stop.
So this is me. Hello.
