Try not drinking at all for a month. See how you feel about it, if you think about it a lot or can't wait for the time to be up so you can drink.
I started my drinking innocently enough - a glass of wine in the afternoon. It didn't take long til I was drinking all day, every day. It took me months of trying to 'control' my drinking til I finally realized I cannot control it and gave it up completely. I'm much happier without it, and have more money in my pocket and don't wake up feeling sick and miserable and ashamed.
I wish you well! Welcome to the family!:ghug3
