    Really?

    Evening all :-)

    Well, here I am back once again...

    Three Months of drinking like a normal person...

    That is, 4 nights a week not drinking, having no more than 3 beers with mates twice a Week and maybe knocking off a bottle of red on a Friday night..

    All perfectly acceptable, as far as I am concerned..

    But then something in my head went "CLICK" and I suddenly find myself drinking a bottle of red EVERY night, sometimes a bottle and a half... It's making me miserable!

    I'm also Binge Drinking alone... I'm talking a full bottle of Vodka, in a night, every 2 weeks or so...

    So...My plan is to stick to one bottle of Red (so 8 standard drinks) for the next few days, then 7 standard drinks for two days, then 6... You get the idea...

    I'm also planning on using the drink Log on here as well as checking in and reporting to anyone who might volunteer..

    I really thought I had my drinking sorted out..

    And before anyone else says it, yes I should totally abstain, rather than trying to drink normally..

    Cheers for listening to me vent... I'm pretty upset about where I have fallen back to!

    Back as well

    So familiar . . . . . good luck, I've never thought I've been normal but January was good, as was Feb, March not so good and so far April has been lousy. How much is irrelevant because none of us would be here if we didn't know we had a problem, no matter how little or much we drink. The very best to you . . . . . I've spent practically all morning reading everybody's posts, gathering the strength I can from them ready to challenge the 'witchin hour. Keep strong. x

              Hey Wavey!

              Glad you're here. No advice to give, we all travel this journey in our own way. If you want this sorted you'll figure how to do it!

              Keep with us - it really is an awesome place to be.

              In bed eating double choc ice-cream, snug as a bug is me! Beats gulping down my usual 3 bottles of wine a night that's for sure! But, that was another life ago- kinda.... Anyway, I'll probably wake up with a chocolate hangover but I'm ready for that!!!

              Stick with your plan and you'll be sailing smoothly for sure!!!

              Best of luck and hope to see you around the boards.

              Hugs (don't get nervous, I hug everyone!), Nicey.

                              Really?

                              Boy do I understand....I never drank harder than I did the year I tried to moderate. The last straw was when I bought non alcohol wine...and chugged it???? WTH? So ingrained I guess. I know you already know the answer....but quitting AL totally isn't so bad at all! In fact, it's remarkably BETTER than the chains I was in trying to make it work for me. I tried to make it work to the exclusion of everything else! (health, husband, job). It's the best decision I ever made...has it been easy?...HELL NO! Has it been worth it? Absolutely. All the best to you!!! Byrdie
