peach> "Glad I'm not alone. Am I correct in understanding that you still drink then but not as much or have you gone down the sober route?"
I quit 27 days ago. Feels great, but I'm just doing it a day at a time..really living in the moment and not looking ahead or contemplating "forever". It's intimidating. I don't think I was physically addicted to it much either. I had a headache for a couple days, but that's it. Not sure why...I was drinkin a lot of beer.
Sobriety has been so much better for me than moderation. I was so sick of thinking about it all the time. i.e. "What's today? If today is Wednesday and I drank on Monday, then if I drink tonight, but not tomorrow...that'll make it only 4 times this week, which is better than last week...." yada yada.... It sucks. Now it's just not an option, and I think about it much less. I'm slowly getting out the "habit" of drinking at night...it gets easier. Oh, I have my moments...but again..just trying to commit to today. I look at it as something that's new and exciting..I've never been a non-drinker! And oh man, are the mornings nicer!! I'm excited for you, too! Good luck!
