Thanks guys. I am interested in accountability this weekend. A bit tentative as this habit has been for quite a long time. Not an all day thing but every evening. Tired of the shame and feeling like crap. Sometimes feel like I'll never be able to stop the cycle but I really need to.
Hi BP09. I have 30 plus years of evening drinking behind me and all you need to do this is a strong enough intention. You'll need a plan as well but it is achievable. Believe in a future without the constant worry about how much you are drinking.

Thank you so much Gwen. This is really good for me. I have gotten into the zone of thinking I am the only one out there that has this problem. It is so good to hear from others that struggle with this junk!
Welcome! So far, pretty much everyone I know in recovery has had a case of "terminal uniqueness", myself included. I can only speak for myself, but that "unique" feeling that I'm the only one who's ever felt this way is just my good ol' alcoholic brain trying to edge me away from the good life again.
Good luck! Great group of people here. I did a lot of reading here when I was first starting to sober up, and it REALLY helped!

Welcome bp09,
This is great group here.
I'm sorting through little by little and each day is different. Definitely can say that having a clear head is a decision moving in the right direction.
Keep reading and posting. It really helps with the process. You do not have to do it alone.

Just like eating an elephant... One bite at a time, lengths of sobriety come one day at a time. It sounded dumb to me at first, but it makes more sense now. I'm not worrying about tomorrow or the next day. I'm focusing on today, living in the moment, staying sober at the present time, and trying to help where help is needed. Good luck with it!
