It takes a lot of courage to finally admit that the only answer is to not drink - at all - ever. It is scary, but I don't really know why. This is my Day One and I hope we never start counting again.

Sleepy foggy day. Normal for first few days of not drinking for me.

I realize today that I don't want my life to be a series of day ones.

Interesting I drink at home. Pretty colorful martinis in nice glasses.
Not glamorizing just giving visual. Whenever one of my family
members walks in to the room they look to see what I am drinking.
Have to smile when they see my seltzer.

Thanks for reading. sleep well all.

Hi takin. It's great to see you beginning to feel more positive. I couldn't get it through my head that I had no control. I went on for years insisting if I just used more willpower I could have a nice, civilized 'one or two'. It never worked once. I'd like to say I gave up trying to moderate, but I went on for many years playing with fire and damaging every area of my life.

Here's hoping this is the end of the misery for you. You sound ready to have a new beginning. We're here to help you through it. Congratulations on your decision.
