[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update: It’s been 30 days without a drink. In the end, I decided it didn’t matter if I was technically an alcoholic. I wanted to cut down and found it difficult to do so. [b]I questioned my will, [/b]which I’ve never done in other areas of my life. The real clincher was when I told my tween daughter I was thinking about cutting back and she said, “Sure, mom, you’ve said that before.”

The first week was rough but it got easier. After two weeks I noticed I was sleeping through the night for the first time in years. Generally, I have more energy now and I’m feeling good about my resolve to take better care of myself. I haven’t lost any weight yet, which is a bummer, but I feel confident that will come in time. I don’t talk about it much with others, because I don’t want people to feel like I’m judging them (and maybe I’m afraid of jinxing myself). But so far so good.

Thanks everyone.[/quote]Hey OP, glad to hear it! Thanks for reporting back.  It's interesting that you mention questioning your will - sounds like you thought that if you were a better person, you'd be stronger and not drink so much.  Don't put that on yourself.  Just keep working toward your goals.  Sounds like you're headed in the right direction.  Wishing you the best![/quote]
