I can't stop this

Satz 123, Thanks for your post, I understand what u are saying. I have been around MWO for a cuople of years and gradually my drinking has decreased. Not totally af but might have a drink now once a week. Used to drink heaps everyday!!! I read lots of posts and am sure ,somehow, it has helped. I am hoping that eventually, I just will wake up one day and cease drinking all together.. Thanks again

Yep I definitely wouldn't have got this far without this website, and reading lots of posts. And I'm only on day 2.

You are EXACTLY where I was from February this year. I did what you are doing & would wake up with great intentions. By 5.30 I was in the car & off to buy a bottle on the way home.

BUT ............ the seed was sown logging in here every day & getting to know people.
At first I couldn't imagine even one day without a glass of wine while making dinner.
No great dramas happended when I drank or anything or getting legless - but it bothered ME !
I then dabbled in AF outings etc and surprised myself by being very proud of the fact I wasn't drinking. Nothing mega - just meals out etc. Said I'd drive.

By July the seed had sprouted & on July 2 - I said I can DO this. And haven't had a drink since.
It's quite amazing really. Sometimes I think of the 'buzz' but then fast forward & think of the next day - worried I have a problem.

So take your time - it will happen - I am sure of it.

Thank you for this post Satz - perfect to keep me out of beat up mode today. Things are changing.

Hello to ST - hope you're feeling ok today.

Good luck !

I love this 199days...I hope I don't forget it. When I start to crave, I start to develop anxiety about withdrawals...that's my brain's greatest excuse... And a big draw on my strength. What an awesome reminder. Thanks
