Ugh not looking forward to this…
Sorry for the title, but thats how I feel. This is all going to be hard work.
It's hard to know where to start. I am not sure how or where it happened.
I know I am very shy, and turn into this entertaining sexy funny women when I have had a few drinks. Well, thats my perception NOT reality.
I have:
done REALLY embarrassing things that I just won't even say, even here.
I have hidden drinks from my partner behind my chair (which he has seen)
Alcohol is my way of de-stressing, it makes my head stop spinning
It's really impacting my relationship
I want to do something about it, and plan to, but then it seems so natural to have a glass (or several) with dinner, I don't know where I am meant to stop it.
I usually most want to do something when I feel really sick.
I have on occassions gone through 3/4 a bottle of Bourbon. These are the 'bad' nights when I will fight with my partner.
I can drink 2 btls of wine, a few nights a week. Lately it's more like 3 or 4 glasses.
These days I get drunk quicker. Rather than building up tolerance it seems to have gone backwards.
I feel sometimes like I can't cope, but I don't know WHY - my life is fine.
I often want to make nights more 'exciting' alcohol heightens everything - even watching tv becomes more fun!
I suddenly have an opinion that I am not scared to voice.
I know I have terrible terrible self esteem.
This is all rambles not a story, I feel sort of emotionally detached from the situation as though I am looking at some stupid girl who can't control how much she drinks...............rather than looking at me.
Ok that is all for now. I just had to make a start.

need advice he is at it again the spouse i think
Been sober i think since jan 30, 2008 . with a few set backs . But his behavior has slipped and i wondered was it the pressure of his job? He has been attending meetings and doing the steps. ( I think). Well he use to carry a coke around all the time. Well for the last week i saw him carry what he used drink out of to cover up. I wondered but put it down to stress etc. The carrying for me has gone way down. All signs. Well cleaning the kitchen I see his favorite cut with what looks like coke? Well me not being a drinker took a sip and to me it smell and tasted like watered down Gin or bourbon. But again me not being a drinker.
He is at work now what do i do? Save it and confront or talk ? i am really upset?

Usually moderate drinker suffering from withdrawl??
Hi,
This is my first time posting here. Thanks for all any comments.
I woke up Sunday morning feeling like I was going to die. I was sick all day, not keeping water or food down until 5pm. While thinking about my state, I remember I had been drinking somewhat heavier than I usually do. I started drinking two shots of vodka when I got home from work followed by a glass or two of wine. On Saturday night I had a large amount of Bourbon over a three hour period, of which I threw up after a few hours.
Anyway, I have felt terrible since then. I feel like there is a tight band around my head, slight tunnel vision, slightly dizzy or disconnected from reality, food doesn't go down as easily as usual, and I'm a little jittery... My friend, who is a full blown alcoholic, thinks this is withdrawal. Does this sound right? I drink somewhat regularly but I have never experienced anything like this! I'm kind of nervous. Most weeks I don't drink at all, but some weeks I do a lot. Am I a mild alcoholic??
Thanks for all the help!

What is your drink of choice?
So, I am a wine drinker. I can drink ALOT of wine. I go between red wine (cuz its good for you -- haha) and white wine which is sweeter. I used to drink beer, but I get too full after a couple and don't feel like drinking it. I don't like hard liquor for some reason. If I am out of wine I can drink one or two beers, and that's it, I'm done. We have bourbon and gin in the cupboards that have been there for years that I would never drink...so is there some kind of sugar craving with the wine? Can I try to substitute something that would take away the craving or am I just an alcoholic that likes wine?
