I drink a bottle of wine every day and can't seem to stop

[felttippens]

The days that I try not to do it im left feeling very lost and depressed.

It is making me fat, lethargic and rubbish

Tips please of how to get this dreadful habit in check - Id like to still enjoy wine but at a less destructive/more sociable level

I don't drink anything other than wine really- if I have a lager or something I don't feel compelled to drink more but one glass of wine and before I know it ive finished the bottle

Help!

Didn't drink last night, despite DP calling me from the pub and asking me to pick up a 10 pack of beer when I was at the supermarket (was going anyway). Really strong craving on way home for a drink when I got in. Quite taken aback at how strong it was; made me think how important getting away from those cravings would be.
Told DP I fancied having a beer but didn't want to as want to stop drinking so much. DP said something like "you only live once crack on" meaning have one if you want. Stuck to lemonade and had an early night I know it's only one night but I'm trying to examine my triggers, cravings, areas of weakness etc and take measures against them in case I get caught out another time. Hope everyone else on here is well and going strong

Well done wriggler if my DH was like that I would crack I'm quite weak willed I'm impressed, if you can keep this up you will crack it. I have becks blue which are alcohol free I find its just a bit different and works for me at the moment.

I'm normally weak willed too! Another night with him drinking here. Not as tempted as last night. Not sure if non-alcoholic stuff would work for me as it's not the taste I miss but the buzz. How are you doing with it? Do you struggle with weekends?
I'm going for a meal and DP is expecting us both to have a few drinks, tomorrow - I'm going to try to hold off. Wary of making a big statement about giving up as he has seen my lack of willpower before, and anyway doesn't see any harm in getting drunk every weekend. In fact he thinks he's had a wasted weekend if he didn't get drunk! Can you see my problem here

I have good and bad days yes I miss the buzz of the alcohol, we are going to a pub tomorrow my DH asked me if I was ok with this I said yes I need to do this, but I do miss pouring a glass of wine and the first few sips I feel like I really relax then and the buzz!!!

You are really in some difficult situations at the moment like I said before if you can manage these you have it cracked! I can so see your problem, let me know how your weekend goes.

How did you do with the pub?
I've been crap - had 2 and a half cans of cider Thurs night then had a full bottle of wine plus more cider last night! I got up yesterday morning annoyed with myself because I felt groggy before work. Then last night I'd told DP that he should only get booze in for himself, but I got wine for myself as I thought I could have one glass as maybe I need to cut down first. Of course that didn't happen.
I'm fine and determined all day then I get to about 8pm and I'm tired and my judgement seems to go out the window. I wonder if I'd do better if I went to bed or distracted myself before I get tired?
We're off to the seaside today and I'm driving - I don't drink any alcohol if I'm driving - so I'll see how I get on. Kids aren't here this weekend so I haven't even got that motivation! Need to keeo thinkinf of the consequences.

The pub was ok thought I might have a glass of wine and if DH suggested it I would have so, I have an alch free San Miguel, I feel a bit deflated today no sure why. I did what you did exactly two weeks ago I had 2.5. Bottles of wine to myself I thought I could moderate clearly cannot so next day hit up determined and have not drunk since.

I do miss it but I don't miss the grogginess and guilt and dealing with 2 DC. Are you just going to stick with cutting down you do have it hard with a dp who drinks, my DH does not for health reasons. Have a lovely day at the seaside I'm off alpaca walking!! With the DC better try and cheer up.

This is me :(
Have so much resolve all day then all of a sudden I'm pouring the last drops out of a bottle

Come on over to Dry15. You will be so welcome and the support there is wonderful. I am coming up to 200 days sober and I couldn't have got through it without the ladies there x

I'm adding to this every night off I enjoy a bottle of red. I work a lot 12 hour nights and day shifts for two companies and used to feel id earned this but feeling guilty now and also can't wait to crack open bottke it makes me so relaxed have I a problem?

I mean it's not even quarter to eight and I've finished first bottle.
