I Don't Know How To Get Started Again ...

WTE, I Started MWO 1/26/07 I never went AF I didn't think I could do it. Still don't.but I have got it down to two white wine spritzers a night. Small steps. I sometimes make those spritzer's in advance pour them into the pitcher and use the smallest glass I have to streach it out. I think a lot of it is tricking the brain and rewirinig it. Small steps is right. You begin at the begining. Be a constant presence on these boards for your support. Reread the book take your sups. Look at it as an hour at a time. I was a 20 year 3 bottle wine or 5th of vodka drink at my heaviest period. My Husband used to come home see the vodka bottle and say "you really put a hurt on that one HuH?" I can't type either but take care of yourself.

Hi WTE,

Like you I was on 3 bottles a day, starting early on my day off, I cut down gradually and it worked for me, and gradually started drinking later and later in the day, even if its only 30 mins later every day.

All the best

Waiting -
It scares the crap out of me to knowing I dont think I will ever be able to mod. We have to just take it day by day, tell ourselves we wont drink today, we dont know what tomorrow holds, if we tell ourselves that we can never drink again it is just to overwhelming and it scares us. So dont drink today, and tomorrow wake up with the same mindset and so on and so on - today is only day 1 for me, but it is a start. YOU CAN DO IT!

WTE,
I have no idea why I can only last the 28 days.
It may be something to do with the Lunar cycle. Maybe I'm a werewolf.
I just seem to find myself expecting to crack and then cracking.
I believe it's called a self-fulfilling prophesy.
It's all in the mind, as they say. I'll find a way round it though.
