So I have been drinking a bottle of wine about 4 nights of the week and decided I need to stop. I have not touched a drink now for 7 days and not found it particularly hard to be honest as I have my mind set on it. Anybody else given up? I realised I was feeling groggy in the morning and do not want this to develop as I have young ids who need me. How did I get into that situation in the first place it is just so bloody easy!

Do I need to cut it out forever? I have other alcohol in the house such as beers/spirits/cheap wines but I only like the expensive stuff, this is one of the reasons for giving up.

Could you save wine for a weekend treat? I bet that now you’ve had a break and the longer that break is , a couple of glasses will feel like a lot. I enjoy wine but don’t drink in the week .

I stopped drinking in jan really not missed it at all

Why did you stop, was you drinking as much as me? I want to a better mum to the kids and not feel groggy the next day. I am going to put away what I would usually spend on wine and see how much I save. I have bought some vitamins and really trying to get healthy as I am 35 now.
