I am new to this forum.  Three months ago I started drinking for the first time (I'm 38) but it only took one week until I was drinking 2-3 bottles of wine a day.  3 months later I have just been discharged from hospital after a five day stay to have gallbladder out because it was full of stones and a ct scan found out that I had a fatty liver.  I know it was directly related to the drinking because I had a scan three months ago and I was healthy.  I have now been sober for seven days and now feel great.  I've discovered that I have a highly addicted personality so I know I can never touch alcohol again but it is always at the back of my mind - the very definition of an alcoholic.  What I'm seeking is regular support from people in my position.  Anyone interested I would love if you could message me.  I'm not religious so I have not gone the AA route but I would certainly welcome anyone who is in AA.  I know I can't do this alone.

    Hi there,

    There are alot of positive responses to Skybeth on here I hope she's still reading them 😆

    As I'm wandering where she is? Sky said she needed support with drinking etc but has not been back on here or replied to any of our questions/responses. .

    The only reply has been to 4RHGB who asked Sky to be honest about her past drug addiction so we can better advise. .

    I hope your ok sky would be nice to have a response from u!?
