    Cutting down

    Hi all, this is my first post, just found this site a few days ago. I don't think Im an alcoholic, I could go days without a drink and it wouldn't bother me, my problem is when I do go out drinking I don't know when to stop, I would be the last to leave the bar and then come home and drink some more. I know it's nobody's fault but my own but my partner doesn't help, he's the one that says "we'll have on more for the road", and that leads to one more again! When I have a night or two like that I feel dreadful for a few days as it leads to fights and arguements. Anyway, what I need is to find the strength to be able to say no and take control a bit more.

    Any advice would be appreciated.:thanks:

        Welcome!

        This is a great place to keep reading and posting.
        Have you been able to stop at a drink or two? or is it all or nothing?
        May our choices today not result in regret, but rather be wise

          Hi, thanks for your support. haven't touched a drop for about 5 days, don't miss it, don't feel like having one but I know once the weekend comes I'll want to unwind friday evening with a glass of wine, which will turn into a bottle but is it ok if I just do that every weekend and stay clear of it during the week? I don't think I'm an alcoholic but because both my parents were I am worried about it. Ideally I would like to be a social drinker because where I'm from it's such the done thing to go out weekends and have a few drinks or go to friends for dinner and have some wine and I'd like to stay in that loop but without the danger of being an alcoholic looming over me.
          Anyway thanks again for listening...
