Day one for me
I've been drinking heavily all my adult life, about 20 years. Last 2 years has been daily half bottle of spirit plus at least 1 bottle of wine. Not surprisingly, been have problems with all this so for the first time, am going to try to stop. After 2 days of tapering, it's 8am on the morning of day one. Wish me luck and thanks for reading xx

Thanks. Have been worrying and thinking about stopping for ages. This is the real attempt. Two nights of terrible dreams and sweats during the tapering. Will just get through the day today and see x
I gave quitting a half-hearted shot fifteen years ago. Only last year did it sink in that I had to quit or die. Congrats on coming back to the fold and best of luck to you on quitting. If you stick with it it will be the best decision you've ever made!

Thanks for the comments so far. I may well check in again tonight, when the going gets tough. My body is already looking forward to its first drink of the day. Which would normally have been in about an hour
Didn't stop until 2010. So I know all about waiting. I also know about letting opportunities slip away. Don't let this one slip by you.
Great decision New Life. I spent years planning to give up tomorrow, and so having one last splash to get the urge out of my system. Glad you'be made the decision to give up today rather than tomorrow. Hang in there - the early days aren't fun but you only have to do them once.
