I have decided to post this after commenting on another's thread. I feel I am becoming an alcoholic. I've found myself opening wine /beer at any excuse usually when I'm making dinner. Find I can't stop drinking I can't just stop at one I seem to have no off button. I last drank in October and was very ill 2 bottles of wine one I had hidenn from husband I was even drinking it out of bottle. I can't remember parts of the night, I do know I was very very sick. That scared me alot. I don't drink every day but when I start it's too hard to stop. I find myself thinking of alcohol when I wake in morning and I've noticed how many ads and programs on TV show drinking. I've seen husband buying drink for Christmas and storing it in house it's hard to stay away from it not looking forward to Christmas day

Well done Lilliesmum, check out the online site Soberistas, you can have a 7 day free trial. Lots of women (some men) on the site, there are blogs by people in the same boats and threads you can join. Amazing support, advice. You are not alone in this. Good luck
