new girl
Hi basically I have lost everything or that how I feel. I had a good job and a responsible one but changed it for one that I thought would be better for me and the partner I had.
He then left me and my drinking increased. The job I hated and drank at night as I was bored .
The job contract ended and then I was drinking in the day . Met another bloke who I really liked but he never said but think me drinking was an issue .
So now I'm alone. Broke and drunk most of time and I don't want to be.
I want my life back. Been applying for jobs all morning but can't be drinking if I want the job I want.
Plus there a nice bloke on the scene and I know booze will mess it up.
I just don't know how to start.

Hi Kitty and Welcome to SR.
Realizing you have a problem IS the start, now you need to come up with a program to help you stop.
Look around here and read posts from other members, you have many sources for help and support, whether it be AA, AVRT, Smart.
Stay with us , and post as little or as much as you wish, there are monthly classes and daily support threads.
Again, Welcome and Good Luck

Welcome! 
Start by blocking off a week in which you expect to do nothing. Stock up on snack foods, juice, pasta. Get a netflix account.
And stop. (please see your doctor before quitting, if possible)
I didn't think I could. But you just have to start with that first week.

Wish I could take a week out. I live at home so pretend I'm ok. We not close so i cant tell them stuff. I'd be happy if I could stop drinking in am and cut down the amount I drink.
I tried just stopping once and didn't cope.
I can't go to my doctors as I don't want it on my notes, I have to have occupational clearance for jobs and if they contact doctors regarding past mental health issues I don't want this disclosed.
It funny but as I've not drank my usual bottle wine before tea I feel good about myself.
I have had a beer but most days by this time of evening I'm slumped on the bed.
