Hello all
Hello all
I am new here. I have not touched a glass for 7 days now and I am very proud. I usually have a profound desire for red wine and can finish a whole bottle too often. Sometimes, I had to miss a workday because of hungover and sickness.
I admit that I am addicted since I started thinking about when I could have a glass of wine when I was working and could not wait till my work shift was over.

Hi Kat....I too am on day 7 and have had a love/hate relationship with my red wine...I find the weekend is terribly difficult but every day when I get home from work I grab a can of sparkling water and pour it over ice and start reading....It helps....I have been trying to eat healthy too but when the craving hits for drink I end up having something sweet or salty..but that's ok. I need to be a bit easier on myself in this respect for the time being. SR has been so much help to me... just reading other's posts and knowing that I'm not alone in this helps a lot ....When i get up the Nerve to post..I anxiously wait for anyone's input/advice. Sometimes it can be tough to hear but it's so good that people are willing to tell me the truth.... It's funny because the first time I signed up here was in 2014 and I was sober for about 18 months and then I decided I would try drinking socially again and that ended up turning out the same way......which is outta control....but I never did stop getting the occasional emails and so when I decided that I was going to stop again I came right back on and wondered why I waited so long to come back. Welcome and I am hopeful we both can get more sober days together with the help of SR and a solid plan!!!

Hi kat and hopeforme. I am on my Day 8 so we are on the same page. We can do this. Stay strong and stay here. I have joined class of January 2017 and it has been a great help.
I was a big red wine person as well and yes could finish one bottle easily on most days. Then I switched to sneaking vodka neat and it was awful. I have been tried to quit drinking since last year but always fell right back. This time around I have made a solid plan and SR is a big part of it.
So good luck to all of us! Keep posting!
