[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the same shoes as you although I was drinking more and for longer and hiding it. I quit cold turkey in January and haven't had a drop and my life is totally different for the better. I think you really need to go a month without any alcohol but don't eschew alcohol related events. Have a look at how people react when they notice you aren't drinking. Alcohol is the only drug that people ask you why you're not having it. Anyway, try reading/listening to Annie Grace's The Naked Mind. I think you will find it useful. And that glass of champagne at the wedding? Its really not that great. [/quote]

+1 to the Alcohol Experiment. I had spent 15 years drinking 2-5 drinks a night — really obsessing about alcohol — and stopped in my tracks with the Alcohol Experiment. It’s been 10 months and my life is 10000x better since I stopped. I have a drink only maybe once every few months and rarely even finish the whole thing.

My husband was no help, as he drank as much as I did. Since I’ve stopped, he’s cut way back too. [/quote]

OP is drinking 4 glasses of wine once every 3 weeks.

You drank every night.

Do you see there is a huge difference. [/quote]

This is the op. I haven’t had any drinks this week. Mostly because my favorite vodka was gone. Weirdly my drinking wasn’t a problem. I can’t remember the last time I had a hangover. I also sleep better when I drink. I have bad insomnia since having kids. I have decided my limit is no more drinking by myself. I will have two glasses on Friday and Saturday.

I typically didn’t drink wine because I didn’t like the calories.

Anyways this thread and others I’ve seen have been helpful. [/quote]
