I have been in denial for years and always thought I could scale back to social drinking. I have had too many "mornings after" full of regret.I had every intention of having only 2 glasses of champange.Somehow I always had more and have lost control many times. The other day I started a list of bad things which have happened as a result.... Then I was so depressed by it, I took a drink whichmakes no sense. I have been able to stop for 5-6 weeks at a time, so thought I was ok. But when I start again, it is never just a social drink. The AA did not work for me when I tried it 10 years ago. I could not bring myself to stand up and say I was an Alcoholic.... it seemed like it was a sin. SO when I found this website, I became hopeful. I am not sure how many of you have had to quit completely vs cutting back? Right now it seem s overwhelming to me to not have a glass of champange.
I see my doctor tomorrow and hope he can subscribe one of the non-craving drugs to see if that will help.
I look forward to being part of this community and sharing experiences.
