Thanks SS. I am not in a program, but I see a counsellor once a week. I like that you mentioned the "See I don't have a problem" stage, because that's exactly how I'm feeling at the moment! A stage I've been to many times, and which has always led to bad results.

I guess it's just so hard at this point to believe that there will be a point in my life where I enjoy not drinking. I quite smoking a couple years ago, and I no longer have any cravings or desire to smoke, but the big difference is that I got to the point where I no longer enjoyed smoking. I still enjoy drinking and that makes it so easy to trick myself into drinking.

I've been reading Ryan's thread and that has helped too, as he's basically thinking the same things.

Something else I've noticed since quitting, I've been eating a tonne. Like non-stop, can't seem to stop sticking food in my mouth. I used to not even eat dinner, as I'd drink instead, but now I'm hungry all the time. Is this usual?
