buddah Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 ive been trying to stop drinking for a lonf time. i relapse alot. right noiw it's been almost three weeks since my last binge. the real problem is that i stopped smoking weed a month ago and that was really all that was keeping me stable. i gave up cigarettes on new year though and that made me feel posative for a while.now im hooked on espresso and redbull. but i spose you cant win them all.good luck thought really. i hope you do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samii Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 am quitting drinking. binged every day bar about 10 last year. am supposed to be 'cutting down' to a safe level rather than giving up altogether. have managed to not drink 10 days in january which doesnt sound much but its a big deal to me. im finding my binges very out of control on days i do drink, so may have to give up altogether. am replacing alcohol with redbull and coffee and sweet food... not ideal, but gotta be better than being wasted every evening! i dont have alcohol in the house on my no drinking days else i will drink it. have you got any support for quitting? im seeing a drugs/ alcohol person through the nhs. very helpful. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey Jades, ( should I put this in ED ??) I used alcohol in bulimic binges too - and boy did i put on weight !!! Three stone by the end of that infatuation. Try not to mix the two, cos it all goes horribly wrong. I don't know what to advise really, other than I only drink (moderately) at the weekend, and am not bulimic most of the time any more. Sounds real boring, but alcohol for me was an addicition that got me away from who I really was..... now I know who I am I guess I'm not so scared any more. Not much help, but sending you huge hugs anyway, Sapphy xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken doll Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi jades,I'm a borderline alcoholic(among other things), so I know what it's like to have a drinking prob. well done trying to quit!!!! I wish you the very best of luck with it. my bf wants me to quit but other than sh it's the other release I have.i don't have bulmia, but sometimes I don't eat. so i guess i know where you're coming from with that, hang in there!hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverborderline Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have 3 days clean and sober , Yes drinking and drugging is huge part of my disorder - hard to stop but it is possible , good for you for trying to quit . Let me know if I can help and support you in anyway at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMaria Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good luck Jades! Are you quitting all drinking or just binge drinking? Either way, I know you can do it although I am sure it will be very difficult. We are here to support you. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marchmadness Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey Jades -Trying to stop drinking on your own can be extremely difficult. Let the people on thesite here support you. Have you thought about going to an AA meeting? The peoplethere are really supportive and do understand what it is like to want to stop.Marchmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapphire Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 ((((((((((((((((((((Jades !!! )))))))))))))))))))))))Isn't that a small victory - think about it hun....... 3 instead of 12, yup I think that's real good. Cutting down slowly is probably the best way to do it, cos going cold turkey, it's just so easy to say "bollocks" and not try. Sending you lots of love - you have not failed, you are heading in the right direction !!!!Sapphy xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roses Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cutting down like that is a big step Jades. I did this when I quit smoking. Cut down and down and down until there was no point. I had got over the physical addiction only had the habit left and I kicked that right down the stairs, through the kitchen, out the back door and all the way up the friggin' street!!! Bye bye smoking!!!! You will do the same with the drink sweetie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken doll Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 just wanted to say well done! like all addicitions it's better to cut back slowly and replace it with something else, gradually, rather than bash yourself over the head, (so to speak not litterally) because you gave in to an urge that has been controlling you. gotta get control back slowly. i'm also cutting back. i had 2 beers last night, instead of 12. so I think I did ok, the hard part will come when i'm feeling like crap and want to get pissed to lift my mood. but you, You go GIRL!
