Well good morning all (and I can honestly say it's a good morning). I am now on day 3 of beeing alcohol free and I feel amazing.
I first registered on this website back in 2009, with the intention of quitting or at least cutting back my drinking. Well I did manage to cut it back quite a lot, gone are the days of loosing time and not remembering the last hour or so before going to bed (well most of the time), but I am still a regular daily drinker, with the odd AF day a week (usually a Monday night after a bender of a weekend) and that's only to satisfy my husband that I don't have a problem - yeah right!.
Anyway, no alcohol for me on Monday night had me waking up Tuesday still feeling a bit hungover but I think that was from the fact that I tossed and turned all night (guess it was because I didn't have something to "knock me out"). No alcohol last night - I was so tempted and was praying for my husband to to got the fridge to grab a beer so that I had an excuse to have a wine, but he didn't - and I'm proud to say NOR DID I!
My hope is (like many others here) that I can become a social drinker - no longer drinking on my own. I know in my heart of hearts that's probably not going to be the case, but it's worth a try, if that doesn't work I know that I will have to abstain completely, but baby steps right?
Tonight will be a test. We have no kids home, and usually that means hubby and I will usually either go out for dinner order takeout and watch a movie - this is almost always accompanied by alcohol (but usually in moderation). I am really hoping that my husband doesn't reach for that beer tonight - but if he does it will be intersting to see how I go - I really do want to just have one or two with him.
Anyway - just wanted to start to put my thoughts down in writing.
Take care all

I chose mine thinking it's time to take responsibility for my life.
