Hello. I think I would call myself a functioning alcoholic, but I know
there is no such thing. I carry on my normal daily activities from
jogging 3x a week with a friend, going to the gym 2-5 times a week,
being a mom, wife, daughter, and friend. I started drinking wine while
making dinner. The problem is that I don't stop until I go to bed
(nearly 5 hours later). I drink over half a bottle of a Magnum size
bottle each and every night. I feel like crap the next day. My blood
pressure is crazy high, and I know it is from drinking. The problem is, I
don't know what to do with myself in the evenings. I'm hoping this help center can help me change my habits. So writing this post and admitting my problem is my difficult first step.
