Alcohol takes over me and I attack my husband... do I have a drink problem?

A female South Africa age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Please help guys...? I'm not sure what to do anymore.

When I have far too much alcohol (which isn't often) I have attacked my husband (scratch and bite)(I'm sounding like a wild dog which I'm so ashamed of)...it's as if I have a blind rage and the following morning, I cannot remember a thing at all. I've done it a few times : (

I don't know why I attacked him, he's my true love and I feel absolutely rock bottom at the moment about this. He says he wants me to sort this out and not to do it again...how do I do this? I have an appointment next week to see a counsellor about my disgusting behaviour.

Would you say I have a drinking problem? For ages now I have been drinking 2 or 3 beers in the evening because I'm currently not working and am a little bored...I should be starting my job in the next few weeks..

There's no excuse for what I have done. Any suggestions on how I can rectify this? as I'm quite scared of myself for doing this!

Can anyone relate to me?

Ich_liebe_dich agony auntHoney, yes" you have a drinking problem and sure you can not handle or control your self when you are under alcohol.

Believe me or not there is only 2 way that you can change it. Its you by your self to decide not to drink anymore OR if you can not manage to do it alone there is a BIG help that i promise you that can help you. AA ( Alcoholic anonymous ) maybe you wont like it at the first time but you will after 2nd or 3rd time coming in there. Its free and everybody is welcome to be part of it. You can find them all over the world, check it in the internet where is the nearest AA meeting to your place. You're still young dont worry you can get make it you can get sober... Good luck

Obviously you have a drinking problem. Usually any time someone asks that question, they already know the answer. I'm not even going to bother mentioning the solution because I know you already know that is too.

Honeygirl agony auntSweetie, get in contact with AA and they will help you if you want to help yourself.

Sounds like the alcohol is altering your personality and certainly not for the better. Do not leave something like this as it could lead to the breakdown of your marriage.

I think you do, and I think you now know you have a problem. You came here though, which is a great start. Clearly if you continue like this, you're going to lose your husband. Definitly see a counsellor. Is the fact that you're out of work making you not just bored, but unhappy? Talk about how you feel to someone, and certainly stop drinking (even if you have to attend classes), because the problem won't just go away, as you know. But well done for indentifying there is a problem.

thanks for your advice.

I only want to drink in the evening. I have no cravings any other time of the day. Usually I don't feel the need to get drunk and haven't for ages...until Sat night I over indulged and then that happened.

Do you think I have deep underlying issues here or should I just put it down to not being able to handle too much alcohol!
