sorry to interrupt you, but you seem to be the guys i can share this with....need to stop drinking, its ruining my life,...........any ideas, apart from the obvious

[Doc_Spock]

You are asking the wrong person, hick.

[cazzz1975]

maybe try cutting down first? its quite difficult to give up stuff point blank.

[chappie]

Take up a hobby, or do something that will keep you really busy, and perhaps that will take your mind off drinking.

[figure]

Think about the health consequences associated with drinking. Think about the damage it does to your liver.

Well the good thing is, you have admitted it, so now take the next step and do something about it, ask yourself why you drink too much? is it stress, are you unhappy, or do you just enjoy it? what ever the reason only you can stop doing it, and if it is really ruining your life you will do something about it, it is a dangerous thing to do, cos in the end the drin k will control you, not the other way round. it solves nothing but causes loads of problems, good luck, Ray

Hi francesca. I do feel for you. Alcohol is an evil poison for some people. I'd be more than happy to PM you in Sportsbank x

[Drisgirl]

I want a heavy drinler but was one -I had a terrible wake-up call because of a bereavement and I quite literally stopped.Its possible -if you are a very heavy drinker you may have to gradually over a week come off it and get Diazepam from your GP but mark my words unless you have a wake-up call then you dont realise how easy it fundamentally is.I stayed off for say 5 months cos I needed to be on standby for my kids 24/7 so therefore I couldnt afford to have alcohol in my system neither did I want to be a p!ss head when they were phoning me during their darkest hours.I now drink again but just the odd night or two -thing is it just goes straight to my head now and I now a bigger erse than I was before -yip its possible lol -I usually have most of the week off.

So there ya go -face the obvious for a few months then you'll maybe find an equilibrium like me -whereby you can control it rather than it controlling you x

[Drisgirl]

^^^^^^^^the typos would suggest I was on the p!ss -im not -just type faster than i I should lol.You'll get the gist tho !!

[oldgrape]

you have made the first step by admitting you have a problem seek professional help i know it's an obvious answer but it's the easiest way not that any option is going to be easy

thanks it is probably all of the above and more.

Hi francesca, glad you came back, I have some experience in this problem, not me but somebody real close, you really do know you are going to go into a spiral if you carry on, if you are unhappy,bit depressed,stressed etc, you have got to try and get things in perspective before it is too late, you have admitted it is a problem, thats great, you also know that whatever is wrong in your life drink will not help you, it will mask the problem, but behind the mask are the tears of a clown, drink is a depressant, people think it gives you alift, that is short term,
the after effects are not worth the little tiny up it gives you, please seek help, go to AA, nobody will judge you, criticise or put you down, you do need to talk about it, if you want to talk to me please go to sports section and add me as a friend, I will reply to you,
also do the same with Bathsheba and Dris, they are nice people and Dris and Baths know what they are saying, maybe we can be of some help, so it is up to you if you want us to, please do. take care and look after yourself, hope to speak to you soon, Ray xx
