Hi Not Tonight
Great that you have found us. You sound strong and resolute. I keep losing my resolution, but like you I have kids and I have to be strong for them. Anyone else find it disturbing that NT drank because it was normal and expected at home? That is a big reason for me to stop, because my 19yo already binge drinks occasionally (although this is a peer pressure problem in this country), and I don't want my younger ones to think it's normal. I'd like to sit them down and say "I am going to quit drinking from today" I haven't yet had the courage in case I disappoint them and myself, but I fear it may come to that if I can't do it on my own.
Convincing yourself of the need to stop is the big part. Some people like to take it ODAT (one day at a time). Others like to say "I don't drink" and that's it.
