First post here.
Glad to have finally worked up the courage to admit my problems and join this group.
I am 60 days sober today. My doctor got me through the first physical hurdles now I have to do the rest.
I can only say that I have no intention of ever drinking again, and I think that with a little help I can maybe follow through this time.
I have finally figured out that I cannot ever take that "just one drink".
For me "One is too much".

Welcome One!
My favorite line from that old movie The Lost Weekend. One's too many and a thousands not enough. That and when he begs the bartender to let him have his vicious little circles when the bartender tries to wipe the bar.
60 days is AWESOME! And yes, I agree one is too many for me too.

Thank you all for the welcome.
Yes, 60 days "feels" awesome to me too! That is by far my longest dry stretch in over thirty years. Each day dry gives me a little more hope.
That little voice in my head is still there of course. I suppose he and I will be having "that" conversation for the rest of my life.

Yes, of course, that is the problem! I can't stop with just one -- so even one is too much because it leads inevitably to the bottom of the bottle.
Sounds simple, right? Took me three decades to figure it out. Slow learner, I guess.;-)

68 days now.
Today was the First time I went out for lunch to a place that also serves alcohol since quitting. Family thing, had to go. No cravings at all, kind of surprised! And pleased!
I know it won't always be that easy, but hey, small steps!
