Ok. So. I have a plan.
I'm doing okay with controlling my drinking: I only drink a couple of times a week, and stick to my limits (two-thirds of a bottle). And have achieved this mostly with the help and support of the Bus.
I would be happy, actually could manage this... except for one small thing, i usually end up staying up late, maybe getting the munchies and raiding the fridge; going to bed really late and annoying DH.
I often do this even sober, and after I've finished my wine, it's become a real habit. I know it's not serious like getting out of my tree years ago and sleeping with complete strangers off the internet. But still, am not young anymore... and this is the plan.
I go to bed every night at 11. Lights out at 11.30. Keep it up for a week, I can have a drink Friday night. But still have to stick to the rule, if I do then I can drink on Sunday. If not, back to bed. Make a new habit, sober or otherwise.
If I manage, maybe I can do this forever. The Babes helped me get this far, so I'm sure I can achieve it. Willpower, right? 😀
