I’ve got into very bad habits with white wine. When I’m ‘triggered’ or high on adrenaline (which is often after a very challenging 6+ years) I go to WW and a cigarette. This is not sustainable; nor do I want to be ruled by these addictions. I need to find new ways to combat my ways… help! 🤕

Welcome to this forum. Many of us got into trouble with alcohol. This is a good place to bring your problems. I can identify. But my solution is to take care of my drinking problem first. If I don’t do that, the consequences are too high a price to pay. I do it a day at a time. Keep coming back.

Hi ya, I have gone onto the non alcoholic drinks now and they seam to be working.

I have had many of side effects from years of drinking and suffering now that has put me off and to try and stay strong. PSTD and Trauma started me of years of emotional abuse.

Stomach issues and chest issues.

Drink also goes to the lungs as well as liver I never knew that.

I hope all these health problems that can occur makes you think twice try it if you can the Heineken 0.0 tastes the same but without the ethonal and toxins in or poison, it has scared me an awful lot.

I'm on a painkiller and x2 lots of strong antibiotics for my stomach and hoping it heals, I'm going to try knocking it on the head now as it's frightening what it can do.

All the best.
