Hi Jess. All I thought about reading your post was the scene from Mr. Mom when the dad was dropping off the kids at school and the crossing guard kept saying 'YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG"... lol...
The good news is, you're NOT doing it wrong - you're doing just fine. I find that when I post honest feelings and genuine questions I get very solid help. Also, I get to see newcomers come in posting the same fears / problems that I had early on and you get to see how incredibly common this problem is.
I remember when I was trying to quit drinking I seemed to be the only person in the world with this problem. I have since found many many people here that are a lot like me. Moreover, the one's that are like me can share how they are able to maintain sobriety on a daily basis. Just really cool stuff.
I hope you stick around. If you want to stop drinking, this is a great place to spend your time!
