Your progress is such an inspiration. I can't tell you how happy I am for you!

I don't think your mother is right. Obviously you can handle a big change.

Maybe she means people drinking more than you were. Like people who get the shakes etc. when they withdraw. Even though a bottle a night is a lot for a woman, as you know tthere are women who were drinking twice that amount. I don't recall you saying you had bad withdrawal symptoms. Seems to me that your dependence has been psychological to a big degree.

There are enablers and people in denial of your problem. Both can love you dearly. But their love does not always help you. Only you know what is best for you. From any given advise:take the best & leave the rest.

I agree with Nancy. (and don't forget, I'm the one who is always warning people about the dangers of withdrawal on your your own etc etc yada yada.). If you went the whole week ok, you are ok. 5 days is generally considered how long it takes to detox. So you are effectively detoxing every week if you don't drink in the week. You do NOT need to drink every night and I don't think you should (personal opinion creeping in-- not so subtly.). You are doing great. I wish I could manage that but unfortunately one bottle of wine would definitely become two and just Saturday night would extend into the next week and beyond. So good for you and keep it up! (Haven't you read the book about "Sometimes even mammas make mistakes"?)

I agree with everyone here - you've already proven that you don't need to drink every night! It's a tough one having your mother give you permission to do something - we tend to think of them forbidding more than is necessary and the 'if mum says it's ok, it must be' attitude is pretty ingrained.

It's going to be pretty tough resisting that bottle, so I'm sending you lots and lots of strength.

If your mother is a tee totaller, she won't understand an alcoholic mind.... My mother doesn't drink a drop, she thinks I drink on purpose and should just stop my terrible problem by pulling myself up by my bootstraps... yikes.

my mothers exactly the same, tea total and always telling me im too hard on myself about my drinking. But she means well and does not understand and I need to always bear that in mind when im talking to her about it .She sounds lovely and wants the best for you but on this one her advise is best left to one side .Good luck ,you are doing great!

Thankyou guys for giving me your opinions and support.

Limers, am not doing so great, as I`m on last glass of `that darned bottle`!!! lol

Must say, it`s going down splendidly, but, what the heck, tomorrow is another day, so going straight back to AF until Sat. Thing is, I know I can do it now, so just gotta be determined to stay AF each week until Saturdays. Just gotta listen only to myself and all you guys as opposed to my mother who means well, but as a tee totaller, just doesn`t live in `our` world.

Rachel,
You`re a good laugh, like a breath of fresh air, so just think what you can achieve when you get that booze under control. Good luck with the doc.`s appointment, and be honest with doc., although I know it`s hard.

We`re all here, waiting to hear how you got on at doc.`s.

Rooting for you girl!!!!

Lots of love,
