Hello everyone

I've just refinished reading Allen Carr and why you drink by Veronica Valli and understand the root of my drinking now. Lots of tears yesterday as I read Veronica and realised how I was teased a lot as a child for a minor disability has led to this in the main anyway. It's really helped to understand. ...... I've just taken my last drink and it was disgusting. I feel so ready for this. I just want to be happy and be the best wife and mum can be. No more angst and disgust. No more inner turmoil. Fully there for my children. I may be a highly functioning binge drinker but I know I can do so much better for them. Pls help and support me.

Katie

Great place to turn. I was on here 8 months ago and people kept telling me to have a plan. I didn't. I thought I could do it without one. I'm back after 7 months of depravity, and now I'm heeding their advice.

Dee sent this to me. It's worth a read. It fits for me. Take a gander.
