I think you may have changed my life! In fact, I know you have. Like so many others, I am a 44 year old mother of 3, housewife, high achiever. Like you I have been drinking more and more heavily since I fell in love with how alcohol made me feel in my teens. It has progressed to me hiding the amount I'm drinking; hiding bottles in the wheelie bin rather than the recycling, pouring myself big glasses after my husband has gone to bed, sculling them, then swilling mouthwash to mask the smell. And don't get me started on how things go on the nights that he is away!! But despite all of this, I have always thought that I was in control. What a bloody idiot I am!! Since reading your book I have come to the realisation that I am NOT in control. I CAN"T moderate my drinking and therefore it must stop altogether. So I have stopped, and today is Day 3. Hooray for me!!! Wish me luck - I have a feeling I'm going to need it! And thank you so much for being brave enough to share your story ..... I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to confront myself without you showing me it can be done.

I have not given up alcohol completely but since joining your blog about a year ago, but since I found the strength to meet strict boundaries regarding drinking. No drinking at home during the week. I only drink at a function or dinner when out, and this is not all that often. So happy.
