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!

Denise, I'm sorry to hear you have drink problem, but I also think you have taken the first step of doing something about it.

Has it been sneaking up on you slowly, or did something happen when you felt it got out of control?

In any case, we're here for you if/when you want to talk. Know that you're not alone, there are more than you think out there with the same problem.

I really don't know the best way of dealing with it, but I'm sure others have some good advice.

I did know a guy years ago who joined AA, he was sober for at least ten years after, but I don't have contact anymore, so have no idea how he ended up.

Oh, I do believe that joining a gym, going for walks and eating healthy will help a lot.

Good luck!!
