Please<\/p>\n<em>\u201cI do NOT have a drink problem!?\u201d<\/em> Nothing was spoken but the accusatory, sneering look from a neighbor so overtly disapproving of the rattling bin full of empty wine bottles that I was dragging out of my garage and out onto the sidewalk for collection by the recycling lorry, had me biting my lip, desperate to present the case for my defense.<br><br><em>\u201cWe had a few people over for a dinner party at the weekend\u201d<\/em>, except we hadn\u2019t. I\u2019d had a quiet, solitary weekend, with both the kids on sleepovers with friends and my partner away on a golf trip. There was no denying it. This was all my own work. The fact that I double-checked and found apparent solace in noticing two empty lager bottles, my partner\u2019s, suddenly made me feel even worse about the situation.<br><br>It\u2019s funny now, looking back on it, how alcohol \u201cbeing a problem\u201d, crept up on me. Endless attempts to rid myself of the unsightly bulging belly, that seemed to have developed in recent years, were all laid to rest by the fact that I seemed incapable of limiting my intake of booze. It dawns on even the most head in the sand yo-yo dieter that ultimately, losing weight, whilst continuing to drink alcohol, is almost impossible. Don\u2019t get me wrong, you <em>can<\/em> lose weight, &#8220;praise the lord for slimline tonic&#8221;, but as soon as ones&#8217; drinking returns to &#8220;normal\u201d, the weight piles back on.<br><br>My solution came, not in the shape of any diet book, or (god-forbid) AA meetings, but in the form of a simple quit drinking program, that I watched online. It wasn\u2019t only easy to quit, it really was enjoyable, and it does sound corny to say, \u201c<em>It changed my life\u201d<\/em> but it did. And it turns out that my sneering neighbor still sneers at me when I put my (much reduced) recycling out on the sidewalk, the difference is, I can\u2019t quit myself simply smiling back now. That\u2019s beautiful.\n<p class=\"larger_text\">Don\u2019t feel bad about yourself &#8211; you haven&#8217;t done anything wrong<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway<\/a> doesn\u2019t focus on the downsides of drinking \u2013 you know all about those already.
