I didn't think I had a HUGE problem with alcohol until my husband, mother and doctor all confronted me about it. I'm in dental school and beyond stressed. I drink to relax and to fall asleep, not socially. I was up to about 5-8 drinks per night (ave 6) vodka and wine.
When I was told for my health (I'm 30) that I had to get sober or likely die young of heart disease bc the amt I was drinking wasn't only causing high blood pressure, but also that amount would counteract the effects of the meds I may need to be put on. I thought it was a good idea.
To my surprise, for 6 days, I went through withdrawal. Moderate for the first 3, minor for the 2nd half. My husband saw this all and warned me that I better never drink again unless this marriage is worth risking... which it isn't.
I have off pretty soon and find myself already (on my 11th day of sobriety) thinking about this vacation and how I can finally drink again without consequence if I want. Problem is that I really don't want to bc I can't stop thinking/obsessing about it and that will only make it worse.
I need advice that doesn't involve AA meetings. Please!
