I have learnt the hard way.....

General health and lifestyle
1

I can not drink anything, I had my last .... thught I could just have a few but  NO .... sucks but life is bettter without it. I have found I am not one that can just have one or two... it grows to 3,4,5 as many as I can till I can no longer function

2

I drink every night to make me feel sleepy and that's a LOT it has to be vodka and pep max and I like ice lots of ice 

3

I drink to sleep also but... it becomes a drunck sleep that doesnt make you feel rested... not a good thing

 ave decided to get a good nights sleep the only way to do it is to walk or what ever you have to do to tire yourself

Hi Sue. I went 4 months sober and pressed the fxxx it button 2 weeks ago! Like you I can't stop at just a few glasses, ends up 2 bottles. Then hangover so bad drink again. Had a week binge at Xmas but this one lasted 2 n half days. Had enough, no enjoyment, just misery and terrified family. After 4 days feeling crap and going cold turkey I'm now nearly 2 weeks sober again. I can't drink like normal people, it sucks but it's reality. Stay sober you and well done..

Thank you

Sounds like me. I drink and then feel low so drink some more to make it go away

Hi sue, bless you, I can truly sympathise xx

But take heart...it does get easier in time...I have been sober for twelve years....after FOUR SECTIONS...TWO WEEKS FROM DEATHS...I NEVER EVER, ever, ever thought that I could do it....but I have, and looking back, it seems so strange how I was then....

Nowadays, I have lost all tolerance ( thank god. ) ...TWO drinks, and I am asleep.....don't lose heart, you will get there in the end.XXX

Much respect and good wishes to you...Deirdre xxx

Hi, maybe it's me?, if you've been sober for 12 years, how would you know it only takes 2 drinks to sleep? Maybe I'm confused here?
