Day 2; the time has come
I have all the excuses of why my drinking wasn't a big problem: no DUIs, no embarrassing public displays, no work problems, typically have only two drinks when out to dinner, yadda, yadda. Then there is the other side -- the ugly truth. Hiding bottles so my husband won't find them and know how much I'm drinking; adding water to the vodka bottle to make it look fuller, buying pints instead of fifths so there is less vodka in the house.
My last drinks, two glasses of wine with dinner, were Saturday night at 8 pm. It needs to be over now.
The last 24 hours, I've been playing head games with "rules" such as I won't drink at home, won't drink when out to lunch, won't have more than 2 drinks when out to dinner.... I'm sure many of us have been through that. And we know they are games.
From the reading I've done the past couple of days, AVRT speaks to me. Probably because CBT was helpful to me in other areas.
Thanks for listening.
