i have had an alcohol problem for years. I've had a good
year and a half being able to " keep control" Now I find myself way OUT of control. Has anyone got any advice on how to deal with this ?

Well done for what you have acheived
I wonder what changes have occured to make you feel you are out of control now ? Has anything upset you recently ? Has life become more stressful ? Also , what is being in control to you . A year and a half is brilliant 
I too have periods where I feel able to have just one or two drinks in an evening . This may go on for a few months and I feel Ive acheived so much and generally feel more healthy, less tired , more positive etc . .....Then , yet again I start to drift back to a bottle a night as I have the last few days . I then say to myself , well ok , as long as I dont go into the second bottle I'm doing ok .Well !!!! This is ridiculous , Im not doing ok . Im simply following the same pattern as I have for many years .
Ive really had enough now of this monster (alcohol) controling my thought process everyday !!!! Cant remember the last night I didnt have a drink !
When you say you were in control , what do you mean . Drinking little or stopped for the year and a half
Perhaps , if you are like me its time for us to really stop for good
I'm considering going to the doctor for help but I dont want it on my record as I have a very professional job in the health industry
How about you ?
Take care x

I got out of it and into a lovely wee house. Then my neighbours got goods out ofmy catalogue and I now have a fight on my hands to get them to pay! I am in the process of taking them to court and have been to a solicitor who has sent them letters, with the result that I am being goaded everytime I go out in my garden. Not just with the neighour who got the goods but another. this other neighbour knows exactly what the other bought but is on her side.
Sorry for going on but it just all came out

I just hope this time is good. I do know it's going to be difficult but at the same time I can still remember how I felt when I was sober.

Sounds like you are in a playground surrounded by a few bullies
You obviously have a kind nature
Its very sad when people let you down isnt it ! , just when youve tried to be freindly etc.
Please try your very best to rise above their behaviour . Whats important is to look after your wellbeing . Do you like cooking ? I find it helps me to go out and buy really healthy food and experiment with new things
Dont let these people put you back . Have you got other support other than your counsellor ?
Wishing you lots of luck and best wishes
Stay strong and determined ! You can do it
I'm talkng to myself here also as I know the struggle !!
Soon I'm sure we can be like Robin (well done Robin
