Dani's Alcoholism Story: I Am Ready to Quit Drinking

by Dani
(Canada)

Again I was at work and received an email from my fiancé that he can no longer deal with my drinking and that he thought I was going to just drink socially, this I know now I cannot do.

Saturday nights we would entertain and drink lots of wine, in the morning I would have a beer while making breakfast and plan on having wine once noon hit so not to raise the eyebrows of my fiancé.

But it never stopped there, it would continue until it was time for bed and I was drunk. My children have always seen me regularly have a glass of wine on the go starting from the time I got home from work until bedtime.

I do not want this to continue and am now reading other stories. I am an alcoholic and cannot just have one drink without finishing the bottle. I was buying extra bottles to hide in the laundry room to refill my glass so my fiancé would think I was still on my first glass.

Today is Tuesday and I have not had a drink since Sunday and I am taking it day by day, I just have to make it today, its very hard to think of the future not drinking again. Today I will not drink, day by day I will look forward to this new venture and see things clearer.
