Can't keep drinking like this....
....Awoke on the sofa around 4am this morning next to 2 x empty bottles of wine. I am so disgusted with myself today.

Hi there, what's your back story? I eventually found that drinking like this started to have physical and mental ramifications for pretty much an entire week after, whereas in the past it would have been only a half day or day. They were also far more intense and more unpleasant. I think ultimately that is what led me to say no more even though I knew for years I was going nowhere with my life drinking like that. How are you doing now? Hope you managed to get back to sleep.

Hi and welcome back G3TW3LL 
I know last time you mentioned trying to see how many days you could go without alcohol,
I'm not sure that's the best approach cos it kind of has an eventual drink built into it at the end.
I know it's scary but I really think its better to try and accept this a lifestyle change.
You'll find a lot of support here to help you through.

I'm glad you posted, G3. When I first came here I was drinking an incredible amount every day. I was in a fog & destroying myself. The more I read & posted here, the more hope I began to feel. It's such a relief to know others understand what you're going through. You can get free. Let us know how you're doing.

It helped me a lot to realise that physically that my level of drinking could continue well into old age, I had got into my head to drink is to die and I was living that literally. It drove me to the edge of insanity. So why is drinking 2 bottle of wine an issue? I know heavy drinkers who would not even blink at that amount. What is it? Why do you want to stop drinking? What do you want from drinking? I got to the point that i would drink a couple of bottles of wine, wake up next day flogging myself mentally and, apart from work, isolate from everyone to stay sober for x weeks/days and i would feel dreadful mentally. I never needed to go through that, i didn't listen as far as i was concerned drinking is evil and i need to stop and if anyone asked me why i would shut them down. So why and who told you that you have to stop drinking? Then maybe you will figure out why YOU want to stop?
Hang in there and try again 🙁
