Dear Georgina
It is so good to hear from you in all you honesty and yes, us women need to talk about these things to our friends, families, partners and mothers. There is nothing shameful about menopause and many women find that they drink more than ever during that period when they are 40 to 60 years old. My perimenopause was hectic and yes, I drank a lot then and stopped drinking then at age 47! I am now 54, out of the menopause but still coping with emotions and all that jazz! Please join the Tribe, it is a wonderful support base, you can make new friends, laugh about your drinking past and have people who are just like you understanding your every comment and emotion. You can read my blog there and find awesome articles, podcasts and more. Take care xx
