I bought a bottle of wine
I am disappointed in myself for picking up the bottle off the shelves. its that sports evening here and we all know how we associate it with drinking. My plan for tonight was to study a bit as I have exams in 2 months.
I just needed to post as a way of letting out something... not sure what. Yes I am craving it badly right now but haven't opened it yet. I think I'll probably be okay if I just don't have that first sip. Really just asking for prayers.

My advice: Pour it out before taking a sip. You'll feel much better about yourself. Great job on posting here first.

Right now I'm bathing the kids, going to sit and watch the game with my husband. He's not drinking and pour out the bottle. He would be disappointed if I get drunk anyway even though he doesn't know I have a drinking problem.
It was a dumb move to buy it and I realise it now. I will stick to the plan I had for the evening and study after kids are in bed.
I somehow thought buying the bottle meant failure but I'm gonna turn it around and pour that sucker out. Thanks guys I just really needed to have someone listen and confirm that nothing good will come from this.
Aaaand why would I like to blow up my cheek bones again??? Totally random!

No, buying it was not a failure. Drinking it would lead to no good. Pouring it out will be a success because you beat the AV that told you to buy it in the first place. You choose... win or give in. Just think of the consequences. You own the power because you are in control not the AV. Fight for what's right.

That last question was meant to grab your attention, which it obviously didn't. It concerns me that you have a bottle of wine in the house and are not responding {She's not responding. Ok. Let's call it. Patient died at 2:34 pm}.
Not trying to be morbid, but that could be your future. So many people die from alcoholism.
So pour it out. Save yourself.

My previous post and yours crossed each other.Screw off the cap and pour it out. Screw that stuff!

It's poured out. Thank you for genuinely caring. I'm actually sipping on a cup of tea ready to hit the books. My night could've been so different if it wasn't for all of you. Grateful.

Great job Zeekie. You did exactly what you should do when challenged and posted here before taking a drink.
You were challenged and succeeded. Each day is a learning experience, great job on not taking a drink!

I am so glad that you poured it out. I feel so happy for you. In fact, since this is an anonymous forum, I'm getting some teary eyes. I never cry out of sadness or grief (which doesn't mean I don't feel it!!). But I do cry out of happiness. And seeing you pouring it out and moving on, well, my face isn't dry anymore.
