welcome back!

Welcome back! I know that witching hour well! I think most of us had the same issue; looking forward to drinking as a reward after work or while cooking. I replaced wine with flavored seltzer. Still use my fancy glasses so I don't feel like I'm missing out. It takes a while to adjust, like breaking any other bad habit. I can tell you though the reward is priceless. I'm finally proud of myself, don't say or write (texts, emails etc) that I would regret and cringe the next day. It's taken me quite a few tries to quit, but I know I can't turn back. In just a few weeks I look and feel better (people have commented on it) so I am slowly getting my confidence back. If I continued to drink wine, I'd still be in that endless pit of sadness and self loathing.
You can do this!! Take it minute by minute if you need to and keep reading and posting. Alot of great advice and support here.😊 and just remember that if you stop for good you never have to feel like this again!!
