Water, not wine - recovery journal
Day One
This is my first day of a lifetime commitment to stop drinking. I do not want to have another drink. It is not good for me, I just don't know moderation. It is foreign to me.
I had a big slip-up yesterday. It was the first time I drank all day. Right now, I feel good that I am making a commitment to healthful living. I am having some withdrawl symptoms, like sweating, but I hope to get through this by tapering down. I feel weird about drinking in order to not drink and I am reevaluating my decision to taper instead of go cold turkey. It will be hard either way. I want to do the right thing for myself and family.
