Hi Everyone,

Been thinking about doing this and reading about it for several weeks. Had a bottle of wine last night, same as most nights, and enjoyed all of it, same as I always do.

But I know it is taking a toll on me. I'm usually tired and headachy. What used to be a glass of wine to "decompress" at the end of the day has become 4 - 5 glasses. My blood pressure is now high and I know the alcohol contributes to it.

Most of my days are long and hard. In the evenings I still have so much to do, but I'm fatigued and I know that I'll get a little lift from the wine so I can keep on going. Unfortunately, it now takes a lot more wine to get that "lift" than it used to.

Any thoughts on how to deal with the "witching" hour and keep the resolve not to drink when you're tired and stressed?

Thanks!
