lol... I like your plan its a proper alcoholic plan... only an alcoholic can make a plan to quit drinkning that involves drinking....looooool iam sorry its just really funny!!

So, I drank one of the bottles last night (not the good one). I had already opened it and started drinking before I posted this thread. I am still unsure as to how to stop. I don't want to drink any more. I will look up those quitting readiness stages.

Thank you all for your replies. I'm getting there.

I can tell you, you are right at the stage that matters most: ACTION.

Take it.

Pour the rest of the booze out. You stop by not picking up that first drink. By having alcohol in the house it's just too tempting. Just don't drink tonight. Say that everymorning,do whatever youhave to do tostay sober but having booze in the house is a really bad start

My husband drinks, and he has no intention of stopping, so I can pour out my wine (though I haven't yet), as he doesn't drink wine, but I am going to have to stop drinking with beer and other alcohol in the house.

I'm going to have to do this kind of alone. I may not even tell my husband unless he says something - obviously he will notice when I don't drink.

I won't drink tonight. I don't know what is going to happen this weekend.

My husband kept drinking when I quit. It can be done. If you really want it,and you have to really want it for yourself then you can do it. Sobriety pacts don't work ,when one says I won't drink if youwon't etc etc. If onethen gives in it gives the other licence to do the same. I'm not saying it's easy to quit if your H is drinking but it's not easy anyway. It's very easy for us all thefind excuses to keep drinking.

Don't worry about the weekend now. Just don't drink tonight, Deal with tomorrow tomorrow. Good on you for not drinking tonight.

You're never alone when you're on SR btw
