Welcome back Alone 
I'm sorry things aren't going well.
Reading back through this thread would be a good start I think - you got some great advice that's probably even more pertinent now.
I guess the big question is what now?
do you have any ideas on what you might do now for help and support?
what changes can you make to your life to help you stay sober?

Ive found an AA group, they meet on Tuesday evening. I think i need to go there. I think that would be the first step need to take in order to finally admit to myself that I have a problem.
Ive done so many terrible things due to alcohol, things Im far too embarassed to share. I think Ive hit my 'bottom' now i just need to find the strength and support to pick myself back up.

Around 2 years ago i had gastric bypass surgery and so whilst pre op i still liked a drink and maybe drank more on occasions that a normal person would, post op my love for food has transferred to a love of booze. Also because i dont eat that much i get drunk a lot quicker. So whilst the volume of booze i drink maybe isnt vast, im regulually drinking 6 bottles of beer a night which knocks me out.
Falling asleep most nights drunk isnt an attractive look and im scared that my husband wont put up with this silently for much longer.
I dont want to give up alcohol i want to learn to control my in take, to know when to stop
Maybe i do need to give it up??
Dont know what else to say really, strange that Im on this forum really.....hate it that i have let myself get to this stage.

Thanks nighthawk for your reply. I have posted an update yesterday acknowledging that I have a problem, my original post was 2 yrs ago.
Unfortunately things have got worse. But I'm here and will hopefully beat this.
Thanks
