Hi all Have been here before but now back......! Am drinking roughly 1 bottle of wine a day with maybe 1 or 2 large vodkas. Have been doing this for several years (10+ on & off).  I drink 2ltrs of water every day and my diet is salad and fruit with a cooked meal in the evening.   I desperately...

After many years of sobriety, I would like to return to controlled drinking. The Sinclair method seems to be the answer although I was doubtful at first. My problem is that I live in the Pacific Asia region and need information about where to get advice and medication. Can anyone help please.

Hi there, I'm in my mid-40s, 4 kids all aged under 12. My relationship with alcohol developed in my late 20s and then settled into drinking a lot of wine mostly to ward off the boredom of being a stay at home mum. I was worried about my drinking so when I fell pregnant with my 4th child I stopped...

I am trying to stop drinking.  I have been to a clinic before and attended AA meetings. I researhed Baclofen and saw that some patients had success with their drinking problem, when they took Baclofen.  My GP will not prescribe it for me, not to treat my drinking problem, and I am desperate...

Today, October 12th, marks the 4th anniversary of my recovery using The Sinclair Method and I have written an article on how I feel about it all, now, and how things are for me 4 years on. One of the biggest thing I have learned is that (for me) The Sinclair Method has been the catalyst to a more...

Hi, I'm currently doing a second detox, and findng it harder than expected.

Hello. I've just signed up here because I thought it might help to acknowledge somewhere, in some small way, that I have a problem with alcohol. And maybe compare notes with other people and their experiences. I'm not ready to tell friends and family yet. I'm in my late 30s and for a long...

I was in Prague for 5 days and during that time I remember buying some brand of vodka in the store. It was very cheap (100 czech koruna) which is 4 euro for 0.5L or 0.7L I can't remember. The vodka was very nice. Its name started with G. Can anyone help me find it?

I did so well and didn't drink for 8 months. Then had a set back and started again. Went to meet new people yesterday, joined a group to meet new friends and the idiot I am decided to drink. Low and behold I don't remember leaving the pub and must have started sobering up when I then realised...

I have been with my partner for 8 years. To say that his drinking has caused drama in our relationship is an understatement. I knew he was a 'bit of a lad' when I met him. We were in our early 20's and going for a drink on the weekend seems the norm. It was after roughly 6 months of being...

I'm mid 40's and have been a drinker pretty much all my life. Beer and then on to wine. Probably a bottle a night until a few years ago when the credit crunch affected our business and things got very difficult money wise. We have worked really hard and can see the light from the money worries...

Hi. Today marks 6 months since my last drink. WOW! 6 months that I thought was not possible but made it. I know that it is just a drop in the bucket but here is what it has given me: -I have 4550$ that I have not spent on wine. That was the cheap stuff. Imagine the cost if I had expensive taste! 🤣🤣🤣...
