hiya Pooks - it is good you recognise when your hardest time will be, come on here during your witching hours to avoid any temptation.
Best of luck

Hey Pooks & welcome. You are in a good place here at MWO if you desire to stop drinking.
Sounds like you need a plan. Visit the toolbox and draft one up and pick a day to quit though it sounds like maybe you already have. It is tough in the beginning to change any behavior & I found the support here is crucial especially early on. I am closing in on 4 weeks and don't want to drink anymore. Good luck & I hope you feel better which you will if you stop the booze. Take care and I look forward to reading of your progress.

Hi Zeppie, Saoirse, Stella, Unwasted and Hypernova.

Thanks for your posts. Thats it nearly hometime and after feeling ill last night and horrible this morning, still the thought of a drink is festering in my mind.
I think I need more of a plan, visit the tool box again and print something off like you suggested Hyper.
This is definitley my witching hour Zeppie, and a couple more when I get home!
Well done on your 15 days Stella, I cant remember last time I even managed a week
You too Saoirse, hows the third day going? I like your quote.
Thanks for the kind words Unwasted, Im not feeling that postivie at the mo.
Im not stopping at shops at 5 pm, no way, nope nope nope
