Alcohol, hints, tips, advice etc.

Totally agree it really does help, I've also bought a weighted vest which I use for walking as a reminder, it only weights 5kg though, so it's hard to imagine the strain the extra weight before had on heart and joints

Definitely! I can count the weight I've lost since cutting out booze and then eating better and more time to exercise in bowling balls. Carrying around an extra couple of stones really does take a lot of effort.

Anyone doubting the negative effect alcohol has on your body!?

I'll shame myself by putting these photos on of my huge disgusting beer belly
I know I am still overweight and long way to go but can see the weight around the gut from booze

Brave to admit that.

Is there anyone you can talk to?

Is there something that has triggered this latest episode, obviously no specifics, but in general?

Is there anyone you can call right now?

Or can you get yourself to A&E? I'm guessing that you know that the potential outcome of the combination of meds and alcohol.

No nobody to talk too I'm just sat looking at a pint thinking I hate you but keep drinking the thing. Triggers? I suffer from anxiety but don't seek help. I have money so obtaining alcohol is no problem. I went to throw my cash card in the river before. I snap out of it though till the next time its a vicious circle for me. Thank you for your reply

Do you want to speak to someone a bit more sympathetic than the police?

Is there maybe a confidential employee helpline or something you have access too?

Anxiety is awful when it strikes and unfortunately alcohol feeds the anxiety, making it so easy to spiral.

I hope you can find the desire and motivation to seek some help. It is out there. Take care
