cant hurt to check out the meetings. when i quit i left what beer i had in the fridge. For starters I was really scared i wouldnt make it and wanted to have something just in case. Also i thought what if i get teh DT's? I also didnt want to just waste good beer or pour it like i had some kinda problem ( i was in denial) I also thought tho if i do have an issue I"m gonna need to be able to say no to this stuff even if its smaken me up the head day in and day out. I dunno that i recomend this appraoch to quiting. I was probably playing with fire in hindsite. BUt i figured i needed to be strong and say no even if its right there begging me to drink it etc..
My point is it can be done people do quit even when there partners do not etc... Its hard tho I will not say its easy!
I'd scope out the meeting i have social anxiety issues too and often go and just sit there. Just hearing whats going on is good for me. I dont have to mingle or participate etc..
