Can't Stop

Hi Can't Stop & welcome- you sound just like I did when I got here...didn't want to admit I had a problem - sometimes I could have just 2 glasses and then stop so that's proof right?? WRONG
I also had the thing where if I ate I would stop drinking but if I was on a bender I wouldn't eat at all - I now use that to my advantage and eat first when I craved a drink.
You guys stick together - there's strength in numbers.
Good luck people - you CAN stop.

Hi and welcome!
From what you've said, i think you have a REALLY good shot ate completely stopping drinking. The fact that you can drink one night and not the next shows you do have some self control. Most of us can't do that, it's every night. ALso you stop when you eat.... Fantastic, something i never could.
SO on that note, try getting rid of all the drink in the house, make dinner plans for the week, come home, cook up a nice dinner and settle down on the sofa with a nice cup of tea. Try staying away from anywhere you are likely to come in contact with drink.... bars, clubs and places or isles that sell drink. See how it goes.
Good luck!! Stay positive. You need to change your routine!

This is my first visit to this site. I am one of those people who think I don't have a drinking problem - how wrong I am. I know when I wake up that I will have a drink that night! I cannot wait for 5pm so I can open a bottle of wine and enjoy 1 or 2 or 10 glasses. I tend to drink one night on and one night off!! If I eat I stop the drinking but if I don't I carry on! I think that I need to be AF as I have no self control. If I go to a friend for a drink, it does not matter how long I am there 1 hour or 5 hours, I always leave in the same condition - far too much to drink!!! Help!

I too cant stop at a moderate anount. Making excuses, like I am having fun. I need to be AF period. Moderation is not there. Gotta give it up.

I am in the same boat as the first lady that posted. I wonder how to stop? I just cant. I have tried several different things just end up going back to that bottle of wine. Sometimes you just wonder if you ever could just stop like that.

Hi All,
I did really well yesterday and continuing today. I have been AF for over 36 hours now and NF for about 15 hours. It is amazing to me how much better I feel (mentally) after just a few short hours without AL (or cigs). I have decided to do this abstinance from both AL and Nic this time.....I like the way I smell today; that's for sure. I hope everyone else is doing well! Let's stay close.
