Hi honeypink,

It is very brave to confess your feelings and truths of your situation. Have you thought of counseling for your drinking? Asking for help is the first step. Are you also letting others in your home life know you would like help? It is much easier to ask for help online than in real life, I highly urge you to ask someone close to you for help. Many women on here have found great support through Fertility Journaling on this forum. You may want to consider that as well.

Alcohol can cause many fertility issues as well as other health issues as we all know. The liver plays a huge role in hormonal balance and alcohol ruins the liver.

This may sound overly simplistic, but why not everytime you want an alcoholic beverage you make a fertility smoothie or go for a brisk walk. Everytime you want to drink do something else you love instead.

You have the power to change your situation, you just have to want it bad enough, please ask for help. You can do it!

just a little update.have not drunk alcohol for a week,had a smoothie every day and just starting adding maca to them.have lost 2lbs and feeling ok,still not very positive but in control.looking at other supplements to try.

Great News, you go! This is just the beginning! I am proud of you.
