Day 9/Day 10
Heavy workload so no real time to think about drinking and AV was quiet. A bit of a relief after a difficult weekend.
Day 10 today (yay...double figures). Up most of the night working so really tired today. Probably just work and bed today. Before I quit a nice tired bottle of wine on the couch would be in my head for most of the day, as it is now. Thanks to the forum for introducing me to HALT. I will make sure that the AV doesn't catch me on this one tonight.
Struck me last night how much of my drinking was habit related rather than a physical craving. Typically when I needed to work very late I was doing it over a couple of bottles of wine. One bottle = not really drinking. Two = normal. Three = a bit heavy. Three+beers = Wednesday
Last night was a late one with no alcohol and it wasn't an issue. Just kind of reminded me that this is am much about breaking habits as it is about breaking the dependency, be it mental of physical. Anyway, kicking on....
