Wow it's amazing to find someone in such a similar situation! Tonight is my final night before I stop tomorrow morning. I deliberately chose a weekend because I work Mon-Fri and spend most of the day Saturday and Sunday drinking at home on my own. My logic was to do the hardest bit first! If I can get through a weekend (my first dry weekend in at least 15 years) then I'll gain a lot of confidence.
In one way I'm dreading tomorrow and in another way I can't wait.
Like you I tried a million different ways to cut down and had a little bit of success sometimes but it never lasted.
I'll be a few days ahead of you but if you follow me up the hill it might feel just a tiny bit easier. I hope so, because I wouldn't wish an alcohol problem on my worst enemy x
