I did the unthinkable.
After my 24 hour stomach flu over the weekend (lovely, right?) I was feeling better today and was able to have the energy to move around and do a few things around the house.
Well, low and behold I was gathering trash together and I found an entire bottle of Merlot in my bedroom closet. Obviously through my drinking binge days I would hide my alcohol in case anyone came over the next morning and all the bottles would be out and about. I hide my alcohol even when I'm home alone. I think I hide it from myself most of the time.
I did the unthinkable. I opened the wine bottle and flushed it down the toilet. The entire bottle too. Yeah, the aroma alone was a trigger but I did it and felt good about it. I'm proud of myself.
I just wanted to share.

I had a beer taper at home with around a half keg left
I ran a garden hose from the keg outside and had foam all over the lawn

Amazing zana!! =D
Hidden bottles in the closet... ugh I do the same thing when I am on a binge. Funny just two days ago my husband was digging around in his side of the closet and found a full bottle of wine. He took it away to work with him and gave it to a client. I was happy I didn't have to deal with it and it just went away, ha!
I was thinking about that later on and I realized... that bottle of wine in the closet is no more a temptation then all the alcohol I can find withing a one mile radius of where I live. Alcohol is EVERYWHERE and I am okay with choosing NOT to procure a bottle and drink it. Such freedom!
Again congrats on your resolve not to drink!!

Zana,
that's so awesome I cleaned my house out. Believe it or not, for years and years I never knew if there was alcohol in the house or how much since my husband drank some and I was sober. It didn't bother me for ages. So funny that went I went back, I could tell you down to the ounce where all the alcohol was.
Big hugs and congrats!
