Didn’t know which group to go in. I’m venting due to my own stubbornness…

I’m an alcoholic that is trying to cut down. I (48f in UK) drink half a litre rum each evening. Actually let’s be honest. 550ml rum!

I am trying to cut down by replacing the cravings with food. I understand this isn’t a realistic way of doing things, but addiction is strong for anyone… Not an excuse. I drink about 5 times as much as the average person (likely more)! I’m realistic about the damage I am doing daily to my body. I recognise that in 10 years or less I could be dead! (So I wouldn’t even reach 60 years of age)!

I have a couple savoury items left from a (sober/church) party (I don’t drink till 10pm at night btw). Plus some crisps, yogurts, & the UK yummy haribo sweets (not in photo)!

After 3.5 hours drinking, I naturally want to drink more. Of course I do! I’m an alcoholic!
