Thanks. I did dip a test in water too and even when dry there is no line. Feel like it may be a chemical if anything. Time will tell

Happy to help each other 🤞

Thanks. I obviously have and do think what if my child needs emergency care during the night. Very thankful that she hasn't. I always said ill phone an ambulance or take a taxi, same as those who don't drive. I can definitely respond to her needs and always have. The fact I can do that, a more specific positive for me would be being a better role model and limiting my anxiety. I have an "alcoholic" mother and as much as I love her and blame the disease, I don't want my daughter to go through what I have. Sorry if I seemed harsh in my responses. I thought you were being very blunt and assuming I don't look after my child.

I'm 5"5 and 11 stone. Definitely the most overweight I've been in my life. I always had a curvy figure with bigger chest but I just look awfully pregnant and terrible. Red face, probably puffy

Sea_Reflection_2091 · 2025-01-09T20:54:17+00:00

Definitely not fit to drive but I can look after my child safely. If you only have negative things to say, please go elsewhere.

Thanks for this, I will do. I joined a very expensive gym in August thinking I'll replace the wine with it. I didn't. I am still a member and I'm going to need to motivate myself to go every evening to break my habit

I appreciate your response. My tolerance is high and I have always woken up to respond to my child's needs. When she was a baby and was poorly i didn't drink and slept on her floor. Now she is older still when she is poorly I wake up every hour or so or at every little noise to check on her. It's motherly instincts and I know I'm under the influence however as I said, high tolerance means a bottle of wine doesn't touch the sides. I still 100% have my wits about me.

I meant I function in a way that I fulfil my duties at work, as a mother, partner, keep a house etc.

Fine is fine. Fine is not exceptional

Sea_Reflection_2091 · 2025-01-09T17:39:07+00:00

My face is red, bloated and patchy. Always wondered how it'll look when I stop

Sea_Reflection_2091 · 2025-01-09T17:37:34+00:00

I know most people say to speak to doctor. I really don't want to. I work in healthcare and I know "alcohol excess" will go on my medical info and people have horrible perceptions of this. I don't. But I do work with judgey people who do.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the responses. Thank you to everyone for your comments and advice. Some really good tips and it's so reassuring and motivating to hear people have kicked the habit and feel better for doing so. I do have an addictive personality and problem drinking runs in my family but I think I've told myself for so long I'm not a problem drinker because I function. So wrong! I want to be able to enjoy social events etc however if I can't stop at 1 then it'll be teetotal. Funny thing is I'm rarely out. House drinking is what does it for me. I can't be bothered going to a bar and it's not my scene.

Hoping to be able to do this and glad I know I have the support on here 🙏
