I have just come back from a weekend visiting family, and was so upset that i had to much to drink on Saturday night leaving me hungover and depressed. Its just not worth it. I guess i wanted somewhere i could write this down and take that first step

Thanks both, I can have very bad binges, all of which only bring problems into my relationships . And the source of many of my problems can be related back to drink. Its just not worth the risk anymore . I want to be free of that sick feeling i get. I ended the day well today , with a really nice takeaway - and no booze! And knowing i will wake fresh is a good feeling

Thanks Robin, I may have a drink in the evening most days, that not being a problem for me. The problem is when I am out - drink to much, leaving to a feeling of depression and anxiety. I have a day of today - so going to do something nice. Hope you have a good day !

I had a fine day since i have so much to live for! 6 1/2 years sober and never going back. Drank massive amounts for many many years. Always hiding bottles anywhere and lying constantly! Twins girls 15 months old and i stopped since i wanted to live a long and healthy life. You have smaller problems and it is great that you dealing with them now. Sad, depressed and feeling strange the next day after drinking too much alcohol is quite normal but not good..perhaps try to reduce it? Make a plan? All the best. Robin

Hi Lucy,
I was drawn to your previous post -
"I had a few visitors this week , so made plans to do some activities , not involving alcohol - which was fun".
This is what I have found. I actually enjoy myself more without alcohol which I didn't believe was possible. I wake up clear headed and don't have to worry about what I'd done the night before whilst under the influence!!
It sounds like you are on the right track, so keep feeling positive and keep congratulating yourself on your progress. It might seem like little steps to you at the moment, but believe me 'every drink not drunk' is a massive step forward in your life.
Well done and keep up the good work!!
All the best
Claire xx

Before I start answering, I would say anything in excess is harmful to the human body! So dear you took right step maybe you face some difficulties in the starting but I am sure you will definitely overcome this habit one day. However, if you think you need guidance then you can also approach to Preventive Medicine Specialists who can guide you in much better way how to overcome this habit.
