Last weekend was yet another booze filled one for me.  Now I reach a point on Saturday afternoon when I feel desperate for a drink and it doesn’t matter what drink I have.

This Saturday I had polished off a bottle of Spanish Wine before 4pm.  The real problem is that I drink a glass of wine like I would a glass of water.  If the truth be told it is definitely getting a problem and I know it’s time to knock it on the head.

On a Friday when I used to go shopping I would buy just one bottle of wine for the weekend. Now I find that I am buying at least 3 bottles to see us through Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Last week the supermarket had offers on Chilean wine and French wine, so I really went for it and got a couple of each.

My concern is that if it’s in the house I will drink it and to be honest I don’t really care what the drink is. Over Christmas we got given a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of Sambuca.  Over the last few weeks, these 2 bottles have been drunk.  One of the problems is that we don’t use shot glasses as we really should, but instead fill up a wine glass!

I think the only solution is that I am going to have to stop drinking any alcohol for a while.  It’s going to be quite hard work, but i think it has reached the point where I don’t have a choice.

I’m sure the other half will have a moan about this, but I’m sure he will understand why I am doing this.

Having said all that though, I think the ban can come into force at the weekend, so that gives me a few extra nights to finish off any alcohol still at home.   I’m sure I still have a whole bottle of gin in the cupboard, so perhaps I had better buy a bottle of tonic to go with this!!
