I've struggled with abuse for to long. Last week I went on holiday and drank morning to night. I am now home and have phoned into work sick (I am). I am drinking now to control the effects, but last night finally admitted to my girlfriend that I am an alcoholic. This is a first.

I am drinking now (as I said to stop the effects) but desperately want to stop. This is scaring me so much.

Welcome Amashed, we have all been where you are now. The first step is
admitting you have a problem, you have taken it.
Keep reading and posting, get the MWO book.
Best wishes Paula.x

I really do not know what the next step will be......debating the meds, etc. Can it be done with natural products vs. drugs

I am afraid of what my girlfriend thinks of me now I have admitted the truth and am worried how life will continue. You all sound so brave - I wonder how I can do what you are doing.

Hey amashed,

Sounds awful. Remember that it is your brain chemistry that is doing this to you.

When you are beating yourself up about this, please just try to take a moment and remember that you are worth feeling better about yourself. It feels awful now, but you WILL get to that place where you can feel a bit better.

Whatever you have done, or think you have done, you can survive. Everyone here has been through that. Hold on.

If she is a good friend she will be there for you....if not, she really is not a true friend. Could she be any harder on you than we all are on ourselves?? I think the first step is quit worrying about what others think and start trying to fix ourselves.
