"I drink....probably too much but not everyday...in the week I can take or leave alcohol at weekends well the vodka will get opened...my life or finances are not effected by alcohol...I come from a family that likes a drink and it's always been acceptable....my recent trip to Denmark opened my eyes as most of my male relatives are alcoholics...one has been sober for 8 months however still needs someone to escort him to parties and follow him everywhere as if he didn't have that he would be straight on the alcohol..I've work with alcoholics so seen the devastation it can cause..." Do you agree that alcohol or drug abuse can only be addressed when the person finally comes to terms that they have a problem and not keep being in denial out it? | |||

You can only help them if they want to help themselves...the male relative who needs an escort completed chucked his life away...he trained as a solicitor then his dad died and started drinking more and more...then he got done for drink driving...lost his job etc and was ordered to give up drinking or he would go to prison...I have another Danish relative who has pressed the self destruct button after seeing 2 friends burn to death in a car accident which he survived...I tried talking to him at the wedding but got told to fuck off...I gave his girlfriend some advice and told her to speak to me if she needed..if a person is in denial there is no helping them...you can guide them but until I want the help it's pointless trying. | |||

"One of the main reasons I left London was because I was going out drinking so often - normally at least 5 nights a week and a quiet night was around 5 pints. Because I was single and had plenty of sspare time Ivwas cycling 5 days a week and going to tbe gym and I still looked and felt physically fine. I think most people can relate to 'hangover mentals' and what shocked me in to changing my lifestyle was when I became a paranoid mess which I link primarily to alcohol. These days I havectge balance right, I rarely drink on a school night, most weekends are sober or just a few pints and others are a big and messy night out. We're out in Camden Friday and willve my first big night drinking for several weeks. What scares me is that I was undeniably a functioning alcoholic for around 2 years and nobody would have guessed. I also know that I have drank enough some nights to have potentially die of alcohol toxicity. " I`m sure alot of us here will relate to your post. Glad youve managed to pull yourself round. Well done | |||

"I've had an addiction I over came it 15 years ago...I'm not about to replace that previous addiction with another one...I know I joke about vodka etc on here I am extremely careful and mindful at how much alcohol I'm consuming.." Yes its common for people to swop one addiction for another unfortunately,whether the addiction is one of the following or they swop one of the following for the other etc.....Alcohol,drugs,sex,gambling,serial daters,shopping,spending money. These urges are harder to control in people with addictive personalities. In your experience would you agree? | |||

No not really I have tools etc to curb that and I know myself inside out as to when I feel that I maybe becoming addicted or obsessed with something...I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose who has a good insight to things and how to address it..but that's just me...other people handle addiction completely differently | |||

"I drink a bottle of wine most nights it takes away the stress of life at the moment " A bottle of vino a night would class you as being alcohol dependent regards the health data guides. | |||

"I drink a bottle of wine most nights it takes away the stress of life at the moment A bottle of vino a night would class you as being alcohol dependent regards the health data guides." Yes I know but if I don't fancy a drink I don't have one its nice to relax with a drink at home after the stress of each day | |||

"I drink close to a bottle of wine per day. Not all in one go though, two glasses at lunch and two at dinner. Might also have a G&T sundowner... Alcohol is in constant flow. Hardly ever binge (except during the hols)... Is it a problem? My husband doesn't drink at all and has often remarked that he thinks I drink too much. I do crave it... Come 5pm if I have not had a drink I really feel the cravings. Although I hardly ever get d*unk (and don't drink while swinging as I don't want it to cloud my judgement ) I wish I could do without, mostly because it would be much easier to lose weight, but most of all I wish I didn't enjoy it so much." I have just looked at your pics and I can see no signs of alcohol abuse in fact it looks stunning keep drinking and enjoy | |||

If you wish you could do without alcohol and the cravings you get maybe you should think about seeking professional advice to help you stop? No shame in seeking help if you feel you need help in stopping. | |||

"i drink less now im not married i know that not make sense but my ex was even in control of that weekends we would have wine and spirits even telling me to put more in my glass ,wine had to be 13/14% if we went out and he drove would tell me i had to drink more than a couple of lagers ,so now i have 1 bottle of wine on a sat and some spirits but not too much and sometimes drink lower % alcohol " What do you think the reasons were that he wanted you to drink alot?

"Kate has been a heavy drinker for a number of years now. It tends to run in her family. To be fair, she has reduced her intake in recent months. We've been together over 34yrs now and I can count the number of cross words we've had on the fingers of both hands and every single one has been down to her drinking habits or rather my intolerance to them. We've put a lot of things on hold over the last couple of years, including meeting Fab friends. We're getting through it though. " Keep getting through it and best of luck to you both | |||
