Day one

[SusanStoHelitsPoker]

Hi all,
Day 1 for me after doing so well for a while.
Back to reading the quit lit!!

A little setback, don’t beat yourself up.
instead of thinking ‘stuff it, I’ll just keep drinking, you are still determined to be AF.
Congrats on day one. One day at a time

Thank you @Wouldntitbenicetobeinyourshoes, I needed that!

Same. Day 1 today. I've been doing so well then sunshine and I'm back on it. I was so excited at the thought of sitting in the garden, reading, having a glass of wine, but the reality didn't match up I'm afraid.
But then again, it never does.

If you listen to podcasts try 'Sober Awkward' it's Australian but the two presenters are British.

I dip in and out of it but find the episode 'moderation pixie' useful when I'm thinking ahhh, just one glass of wine won't hurt.

@pastabest, thanks, I'll try that.

So I just poured a wine about 10pm thinking I really fancied one, it's Saturday, surely it's fine etc. Tasted the first sip. Oh my gosh. I'm only on day 3 but it tasted honestly like I could taste the poison in it. Oof was horrid. Put it back in the bottle and got myself the AF version!!

Yes me. I don't drink really often but when I do drink I have the potential to get out of control. I was more drunk on Sat night than I have been for 7 years and it scared me. I thought I could moderate but being brutally honest with myself, I cannot guarantee that I won't end up hammered. Almost jeopardised my relationship with my risky behaviour. Time to change.
