Hiya all. Have been trying to quit, but really struggling 
am currently nursing a glass of wine for the courage to even write this. I am hating everything about myself and don't know how to get better. x

In on this. I've lurked this forum for probably 10 months and decided the best time to do something is now. Not the easiest month to quit and as much as I'd like to keep drinking and go out with a bang on New Years eve, I can't justify continuing in this madness anymore.
I drank heavily every night last week except one. My first day sober was yesterday and it was rough. Managed the cravings okay but slept like crap. Here's to a better day 2!

I'm in. I want to do whatever it takes. I'm going to need a ton of support this holiday season. We also are hosting a Christmas party at my house as we do every year. I'm determined to not drink at this party. We entertain often and i hate waking up the next day thinking "omg. I hope I didn't do anything stupid last night and then asking my husband if I did anything dumb" he doesn't drink at all which is good and I know I can lean on him for support.

Day two for me. My husband is out of town today. The good part about that is that his vodka won't be in the house (not that it's my drink of choice, but if it's here......), the bad part about that is that I will be here alone with no one to know if I stop for Pinot Grigio on the way home. My husband doesn't mind if I drink, he just knows that I want to stop. On days I go overboard, he tells me that he worries about me when I drink so much.

Day 3 for me, checking in. Last night was easy. I kept busy with a knifty knitter. Made a hat. I have found keeping my hands busy helps. But I think I need to find something that takes longer. At this rate, I will have a hat for every night stay sober!!

Second day almost over. I managed to handle a very dangerous moment when my wife, as she was taking one of our dogs out asked "do you want me to buy a beer?". She thinks that I'm crazy for thinking that I'm an alcoholic (she doesn't drink at all) since my intake is very modest compared to the volume people think a "real" alcoholic drinks. My problem is not how much I drink but HOW I think about drinking, how I use alcohol to handle stress and how it basically robs me of energy, makes me emotionally unstable etc. Oh well, I'm ranting. Well, good night everyone, good luck and stay strong.
