I have tried umpteen times to quit by myself and have failed umpteen times. I usually decide to quit but then a few hours later I seem to need something from the store and end up buying a bottle of wine, a scenario that is repeated over and over again each time I decide to quit. I feel such a failure. I have been lurking here on and off since about 2006. That in itself is a long time but I had been drinking daily but to a lesser degree for many years before that. I am shy, introverted, hopeless with small talk, and I have been worried about my ability to interact with others online which is why I keep putting off posting, but I realize now that I cannot do this alone. I hope that being accountable and actively participating with others will help me succeed, and perhaps one day I will be in a position to help someone else too.
I will not drink wine tonight. I have tried tapering with wine many times and it does not work for me, so I will taper with my husband's beer for the rest of this week while making a plan (I'm not really keen on beer so will be ok with that) and then become AF starting Monday.
