If a pregnant woman drinks it's really bad, but however I'm blaming father too. If you want to give up, it would be better for all your friends and your family too. From time to time I learn that giving up alcohol is really easy if you want to do it and if you have a good procedure to folloe. I was used to be addicted to alcohol, and now I rediscovered my old passions and interests, and I'm not interested anymore in alcohol. I'm no playing guitar bass again, reading a lot, writing too as an author about giving up alcohol.

It's just so exhausting! Just the thinking and planning and worrying. It was just too much for me.<br /><br />I wish you the best of luck with this. I hope you find your middle ground and some peace.<br /><br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561779952062755742.post-22023652427024167322015-04-20T08:30:47.799-07:002015-04-20T08:30:47.799-07:00It sounds like you might be onto something.

No one would have ever thought the amount I drank was even a problem, but I knew it was getting to a point where I had to address it. I was drinking 3 to 5 drinks on weekend nights, and about 2 or 3 most week nights, too. I have cut back a few times to weekend drinking only, but if I think about it, I never experienced the relief from those negative anxious feelings until I stopped completely. I think there are people who are more sensitive to the depressant effects of alcohol, and I'm one of them. I didn't figure that out until I quit, though. I still get anxious sometimes, but much less often, and there's usually a cause I can pinpoint, unlike before. I used to have this low-level anxiety all the time, and as I hit my mid 40s, I felt like it got worse. Of course I didn't realize that I was actually perpetuating the cycle of anxiety and self-medication by drinking. I was not ready to give up drinking entirely, either, but I'm so glad I did. It's a big thing to wrap your head around, but you'll never regret it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
