For me, I genuinely didn't think I had a problem as I could easily not drink Mon-Thurs. Counting down the hours till Friday though. Looking back each week was never a genuine attempt to quit as I knew I'd always drink on Fridays. It was easy as was never real quitting.
In time, the weekend began to start on Thursdays,then I'd just have a couple Wednesday then hey why bother not drinking Monday and Tuesday too. I obviously didn't have a problem,I told myself. In reality I had a huge problem.
As previously said once we start trying to control it,it's already controlling us. Maybe deep down you know there is a problem. If you don't want to drink Fridays and do drink then it is a sign of a problem. Hope you stick around SR and read others stories and get encouragement and support
