[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No judgement please! I know I drink too much if this is even a question!

I can go months at a time without drinking. The problem is when I start again, I get into a really bad habit where I drink every night and that first night back to not drinking is hard for me. Any advice? I'm currently in that position. I came home from a vacation in Europe where I drank for a month straight. Went for a week not drinking and then got started again at a birthday party here in DC.

Walking, exercise, what? [/quote]

Yeah, that first sucker drink will get ya...

A lot of people with alcohol use issues can "white knuckle" for several months "dry". And then, we drink. And once we're drinking, it rapidly becomes a daily thing, even an all-day thing. Distractions help with the white-knuckle phase, but they don't solve the underlying issue(s). You're not the only person wired this way, and it might be beneficial to you to seek out a group of us. You'll probably hear a lot of similarities. You don't have to wait until you hit rock bottom to stop drinking. Rock bottom can simply be the place where you decided to stop. [/quote]
