    Why????????

    Hi All.

    I've been on this site for 4 weeks now, before I found it was regularly drinking in the day on my days off, and i've not done that for 4 weeks and yesterday I was feeling really proud of myself for not drinking at the office party when I could have without any repercussions.

    So why have I had 2 beers this morning? It's only 10am, My mobile just rang & I panicked thinking that it might be school about my daughter, but it was my dad, he wanted to come for coffee & i made feeble excuses about christmas shopping.............

    I'm already feeling guilt, anxiety, and all the rest .........

    Why do we do it?

    Why????????

    Hi PaulaW

    Hi
    I used to get into that habit too; and to a degree I looked forward to it and enjoyed it (at the start of the am!) as I knew I wouldn't get stressed at anything (how ridiculous that sounds now!). AT the time, I hadn't found this place, but at least you have and have made great progress and are questioning this behaviour which is certainly a huge step in the right direction whether or not you feel that right now. Being aware is a great beginning and everything/everyone else on here can only continue to help you make the changes you want. It's certainly been an incredible, life-changer for me!!
    I know I still miss the feelings of not being overly concerned about others to my own detriment, but I certainly know that I need to find others ways to address that, or else continue to drink each and every day for the rest of my life!!! I know what to chose!
    Well done re party.
    Best

      Hi Paula,

      You're doing great! Only you can answer your question. Yours is one of the first names I look for when I come here. You and me came here at roughly the same time. I have no clever answer, but know this....I trust you to know what to do. How you do it is up to you. So what if you slip, we all slip. Just remember why you keep coming here and brightening up our lives.
      Love x.

        Thanks blondie & Paul,

        The good news is that I actually stopped at the 2 that i'd had when I posted this morning. Thanks Paul for you kind words, I always look for your postings to see how you are doing as well.

        Take care all

        Love Paula xx
