I just want to say welcome to Julia and great to see you posting again Suzy, I've missed you. You are both in the right place to learn about the disease of Alcoholism, to hear how those of us who have found sobriety have done it.It is a one day at a time deal and I have to turn my will over to my Higher Power , who I call God every morning. My bottom was not as low as some here, but it was low enough that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Please check in often, try to get to some face to face meetings, they will help you decide if you are ready to quit drinking and learn to live life on lifes terms , doing it sober.
(((Hugs)))

Hi there Gammy and Phil
Thank you for the support. I have not been sober for a few weeks. This time I am really regretting drinking - I am becoming too uninhibited when I drink and hurting my poor husband. It is terrible the way I have manipulated him, sometimes I wish he would just read the alanon literature so that he can wise up to me, well I suppose it is just that he 'trusts' me . One cant trust an alcoholic can we? So the answer is that I have to really want to stop drinking because I hate what it does to me - the way I behave when it happens. I do hate it so what more reason do I need to just stop. I think I am close to my rock bottom and I dont want to go there. That would mean losing my husband and children, I will do anything to save that- I will not drink,but I think I will need support.
From today, or should I say for today I am not going to drink, because I dont want or need it in my life. I will find comfort in healthy options and in the people who care about me. The face to face meetings are an option and I am going to look into it. In the meantime I will keep coming back here thanks again for the words of encouragement and just for understanding.
