Hello everyone,
I'm worried about how much I drink and the effect it is having on my body. I installed a unit counter on my google page from the cancer research website (was very good and avoided looking at any other pages!). It is quite terrifying to see the units add up. I was doing quite well this week, keeping my unit count below 21, but then I had a whole bottle of wine last night - was sat up with a friend, and it just went down the hatch. This has put my total count up to around 30 for the week - more than double the recommended!
I'm fretting about my liver and think it is sore - no idea if it is ossible for your liver to be sore or not - it's more likely to be ibs or something.
I'm really going to try and stop drinking, at least for a month, to see if it helps.
Anyone else worried or got any useful hints or tips? I'd particularly appreciate anyone who can reassure me my lvier can't hurt, or any success stories re stopping drinking. I have managed to stop smoking, so I feel I 'should' be able to do it, but also know after dealing with stroppy teenagers at school, that I will really want a drink!
cheers (see, even my chat subliminally refers to drinking:doh: )
