Im Gonna Try To Stop
Today is going to be my first full day of not drinking. I have drank at least the equivalent to a pint of booze every day for the last 5 years but maybe 3 days. I will openly drink beer and sneak shots of hard stuff I have hidden. Or steal my wife's wine. I mostly only drink after 4pm but once I have the first I don't stop till I'm asleep. So yesterday I had 2 24oz beers as I drove home. Was done with them before I walked in the condo at 4. Its 10am now the next day. Hopefully I can make it till bed time. I have to drive a lot today and that will be hard not to stop and get something. I feel OK but not sure what to expect mentally or physical. I don't think there will be any effects till I'm headed home and get home. Anyway wish me luck. I'm Jim and wanted to say hi and I'm giving it a shot. Thanks all!

Not drinking is pretty easy - just don't pour it into your mouth. Feeling like not drinking - that usually takes some time. You have to tough it out to get ot that point. Lot sof helpful suggestions on how to do that if you read around the forums here.
Good Luck on this Journey!
