Hi there,
i have managed to drink a lot less during the week, after work I was so tired and happy with my good work that a drink or two was enough to relax.......amazing, for me. And then the weekend came........and even if after a couple fo drinks I did not feel like drinking again, I kept on doing it, just because........probably because I missed the real effect of booze - I am taking revia and it does work in almost totally erasing the euphoric effect of alcohol - ........so, I actually did not feel like or need to drink anymore, but I did it anyway just to try to "feel" it, when my med is working great to prevent that and therefore to cut the number of drinks...........my doc told me - and I knew it anyway - that I would need to replace the time spent drinking by keeping busy with something alse, working out for ex - I already do in the morning, been doing that for 4 years now - or anything that would keep me positively busy instead of thinking of drinking. and that is pure truth, perfect.........but........I can find something to do in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening even..........but AT NIGHT, when you're not sleepy and your favorite book is not calling you loud enough, and there is nothing else to do cos u already been out for dinner, and for your3/4 drinks, and tv sucks, and your man is in bed cos he is totally tired since he's had a busy and tough day..........WHAT DO U DO, HOW ON EARTH DO U RESIST THE CALL OF THE BOTTLE, JUST BECAUSE YOU' RE BORED and desperately want that feeling of total relaxation in your body and in your mind? What do u do?????????....and let me tell u again, this is even more frustrating cos the med DOES work in killing the irresistible effect of alcohol. almost totally, so why the hell do I drink anyway, only cos I am not tired enough to go to bed??? man, it is so frustrating..........help please, thanks:upset:

You know what helped me? When the chat room was a lively mixture of silly and serious and the mods board was really active.
