Day 2. Done.

[timeforchangenc]

Hi all, long time poster but nc'd for this. It's time to control my relationship with alcohol after another heavy weekend, full of arguments with DP instigated by myself and very little recollection I need to take control and make a change.
I'm embarrassed with how I am when I've been drinking. Made so many regrettable decisions and mistakes whilst drunk. The feeling the day after: not just the hangxiety but the nausea and headache are just not worth it. It's all good fun at the time but that's it, no other positive. Only negatives.
Any advice of how to keep straight? TIA

Yes. To start with focus on staying super conscious. Pick up all the clues about how drinking shows up for you, when you crave it, how it feels, what you're doing. Solve it at the deeper level of what you're seeking and you'll solve it for good. Happy to answer questions.

Hi @timeforchangenc

How are you doing?

Thank you for the reply@change2022

@NextPhaseOfLife day 4 done and I haven't wanted a drink, yet I would normally have at least a couple of glasses mid week. I know it's early days but feeling good and positive. I think it's finally resonated I could lose my DP if I don't change and I know it's the right thing to stop altogether. I'm an all or nothing drinker.

@timeforchangenc great that you didn't want a drink over those days. That's so significant. Because not wanting makes it easy. The more you can decrease your desire the easier it will be.

Start by addressing the problem which makes you drink, there will be one. Is it a bad job, difficult past etc?
