I'm with you Lola. Time for me to give it up (again!), too. It is not how often with me-I can go several weeks without it, instead it is not being able to stop when I get started. I have bipolar disorder, and alcohol effects are intensified with the meds. I'm not ready to give it up, but I have to. My pdoc and t both say it is okay to have an occasional glass (that's one!) of wine, but I can't stop until I have finished the bottle plus more if it is available. I wish I was the type of person who could just drink one glass because I love wine. It calms down my mind, but one night of drinking equals 2-3 days of misery. I am shaky, depressed, and generally feel terrible. I take ibuprofen and tylenol to keep the headaches away. I hate the genes I got stuck with.
