Cant stop drinking

[cantstopdrinking]

Hi all,

for the last eighteen months I have been drin king at least one bottle of wine per night. I cant stand the way this addiction of mine is controlling me. Every morning I vow never to drink again however I seem to lack the willpower to stop.

Any advice

Hi Can't Stop. :welcome:
I was in your shoes, probably still am for that matter but have been without wine for the past week. I didn't think I could do it but it wasn't that hard. It really helped to read the posts on here and since I joined on Oct. 1st I decided to try the October Fest. AF for the whole month. I have felt SO much better without that hungover dull feeling. I wish you luck!. Read the posts on the thread about the benefits of AF.
You can do it if you just try one day at a time!

Hi there

I know it seems as if you don't have any control. But you might just surprise yourself.
Part of this is about your mental attitude and having enough support. People with worse habits than yours have slowed down or quit altogether.

Try a few days or a week and see how you feel.

:welcome: I'm new here myself and was in your shoes. I have had one glass of wine in the past 26 days (in a controlled environment - I don't think I can have a bottle of vino in the house anytime soon). But, last year, when I tried to quit, I would not have believed it possible to do what I am doing now.

Nancy's advice is terrific. Just for starters give yourself a short goal and see how you feel. And please let us know how it's going for you.

Read as much as you can here, there is a lot of good information, encouragment, and all round support.
