I have a drink problem - Professional opinion

[Cat's Meowm]

Please don't worry. And don't beat your self up. Just take one hour at a time - that's what I do!
And then it adds to 24's. It's okay to touch the bottle, as long as no one is hurt!
But it must be hurting you!
Now that you think something's wrong - Go to AA meetings; Al-Anon; church(?), a neighborhood gym; the library --- whatever delays the next drink for an hour! Those hours will add up!

We all have our vices, but with the loove and support of friends and family, we can break those bad habits and take control of adictions.

Oh Denise, What a brave thing to admit this here on the forum!! This is a big, even the biggest step to healing!! I have great respect for this!
My advise : try to find an AA- club or a person from whom you know he/she attends AA-meetings. AA is very good! They never attack you, they LISTEN,and help you all the way they can! I have 2 brothers-in-law who were heavy drinkers. The first one drank stuff like whiskey during at least 10 years. The other one was a heavy beer drinker. Always drunk! They both joined AA years ago now; they have been sober ever since!! I won't tell you it will be easy, but if you really want to do something about it, it WILL work, I promise!!
If you want to talk about it, you know where to find me

That was a brave step to take.Wishing you all the best in finding the help you need/want.

Oh Denise,
We are here to support you. The second step is to find an AA group, as the others have already said.
Be strong sweety!
