drinking to much
I'm retired an active for a 72 yr old woman but I am drinking to much. People say just stop but that doesn't work. How do I stop this habit before I get into trouble. My weight is skyrocketing even through I work out and try to watch my diet. I am going to be a fat od lady who cannot move.

Welcome to the Forum!! you'll find loads of support here!! 
It's gonna take a plan and a change of lifestyle, one that doesn't facilitate the drinking of alcohol anymore, new activities, realising the triggers that make you want to drink and by putting all that together with some support it can be done!!

Welcome goodturn! I'm so glad you found us - it'll really helps to not be alone with this.
'Just stop' - spoken like a person who has no idea what alcoholism is, as stoogy mentioned. You're among friends who understand. I hope you'll keep posting.

Welcome! I'm glad you found us and joined the family. Depending on how much you've been drinking, you may want to consult your doctor about medical help in getting safely and comfortably thru detox.
