    overwhelmed and ready for change

    I've been in and out of these forums for quite a while... I find it very overwhelming to read stories EXACTLY like mine. I've been drinking since I was in high school.. but now its the approx. 3/4 bottle of wine a night or so. I know that I'm going to have to quit. I spend so much energy trying to keep from drinking too much., I get so tired of the mind games and the obsession. Does that go away when I become AF. lately the longest I've gone is 13 days. I get so anxious. nervous using AL as a way to "relax" but I know it is deceptive because I wake up more anxious because I'm so pissed at myself for having more than the 1 glass that I had "planned" on.
    I'm going to try again. today..
    May our choices today not result in regret, but rather be wise

    Good for you... do try again... Do you have a real plan laid out for yourself, using the MWO book as a blueprint? If you do that... if you are determined to quit... and if you stick around here for support and encouragement... I am quite sure you will achieve your goals, get alcohol out of your life...

    best wishes,

      Hi Cherbear. I'm new too and it's always the best laid plans (to only have one) isn't it? I'm trying for AF day 1 today. Didn't make it yesterday b/c I went out to dinner with friends and it was Italian! So, I had 2 glasses of wine which isn't too bad, I guess. It will be hard today since it's Friday but I'm planning to have tonic and lime while my hubby has his gin & tonic. Good luck today!
