Hi ToBeTrue
Like many of the post already your story sounds so similar to mine!
I actually found this site by complete accident on sunday and ended up in the chat room for an hour... it was amazing! What I love is that everyone is brutally honest and leaves their egos out of it.
I have been drinking excessively for many years and it is now up to at least two bottles of wine at home and can be more if im out.
I finally decided about 3 weeks ago that I couldnt go on, I CANT be a social drinker no matter what I try to tell myself, I NEVER just have a couple. I have thought about little else over the past few weeks and actually have cut back on the no. of nights I have been drinking.
I like you thought it was maybe a cop out to not stop immediately but I have decided to stop Jan 1st, I dont like cliches so its not about it being a new year resolution its just that if I stop now in the party season Im more likely to fail and then comes the beating myself up!
I REALLY want to do this and in Jan its not unusual for people to detox so I would get less pressure from friends to drink then hopefully when they realize im doing it for good I will be feeling stronger.
These few weeks have also allowed me to really examine what I have allowed to happen and its the 1st time I have faced up to many things. It didnt stop be going out last week and falling over bruising my ribs but it did make me see I dont want to live like this anymore.
As you are stopping on the 4th Jan lets keep in touch and help each other through it,
just talking to someone whos going through the same will be great. My friends have no idea just how much I drink, they think we occasionally go out and get pissed and dont know about my drinking at home, right now Im not ready to share that with people I know so that why this website is SO fantastic!
Please keep in touch
