Day 8

Hi. I made it a week. I feel good about that and I feel better in general. I have had some stress that has made me think about drinking (teenager) and I have had thoughts flash thyme mind at the grocery store walking past the wine/alcohol. The is a voice in there that thinks to the future..a trip or a party and wonders if I could " drink a little." Moderation does NOT work for me and I know that. I have quit before. Several times and I always start w moderation and end with binge.
I have been visiting SR every day. I agree that I have been eating more and crave sweets which I don't normally do. I need to loose weight already not gain more. But, I need to focus more on not drinking ..but my overall health is important too. One monster at a time this week

Nice job having a week! I am on day 5. I always seem to moderate myself into a binge too. Thankfully the question of moderation has been answered for me by now.
