    Its not silly, me, if it works. Many of us have little things we do to trick ourselves until we learn new habits. I know about waiting til the stores close, too!

      Thing is for me, I have a store open 24/7 that serves alcohol so if I was mod that wouldn't work.
      I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

      Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

      Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

        Not silly, it was a plan and it worked. I used to buy a crate of beer (24) because I thought it worked out cheaper in the long run - the intention being only to drink 2 drinks a night. Yeah, like that worked. Now, if I want a drink, I just buy 2 beers. Full stop.

            That's not silly at all. It's a good plan. Whatever works is a good plan.

            That's sort of what I did in June. I quit hard liquor and had beer, allowing 1-2 beers in an evening and only between 9:00 and 10:00 (I go to bed at 10:00). It made all the difference in the world in getting me on my way.

            Good post!

              Sometimes I just buy a mini box....it holds 3 glasses of wine. It's a good plan sometimes.

              Everything I need is within me!

                Anything that works is valid.

                I found a different way. I water the wine way down, and sweeten it.

                I put a shot of wine 1.5 oz in a wine glass, and then fill up to the normal level with cold water. I add 2-3 drops of Stevia liquid (an herb extract) to sweeten it back so it doesn't taste watery. I'll have 4-5 glasses of "my wine" when I want, total of 6-7.5 oz per night. To me this tastes better than AF wines which I find too sugary, and I get tired of some of my AF drinks after a while.

                Using this system, I can make a bottle of wine last a week. I like the screwcap wine because it seals. This system works particularly well with strong tasting wine, sweet wines, and old red wine because of the strong flavor.
