I hid bottles in my closet too! Of course, when I would find them they were empty!

It's really just what we need to do if alcoholic
We don't need to take too much credit for doing the right things

Thank you everyone for the congrats! It was difficult to do but given the circumstances I was throwing up so much over the weekend even the thought of drinking any kind of alcohol makes me cringe. Even today when I felt good waking up (although my sleeping will take time to get back to normal) the thought of alcohol sounds revolting.

I do give myself credit and a pat on the back because I've never been able to do that before. Ever. Since the time I started drinking three years ago to today... to throw away wine or any kind of booze would be heartbreaking to me. Now, it's not so sad. I never give myself credit so it felt good to do so. Still proud of myself, and I'm glad you are all here to support and give me congrats. I hadn't realized I'd get so many thanks. I just wanted to share what happened.

I know it takes one day at a time, but if you want and need this MORE THAN EVER we have to be stronger than our addictions.

Well, low and behold I was gathering trash together and I found an entire bottle of Merlot in my bedroom closet. Obviously through my drinking binge days I would hide my alcohol in case anyone came over the next morning and all the bottles would be out and about. I hide my alcohol even when I'm home alone. I think I hide it from myself most of the time.

I did the unthinkable. I opened the wine bottle and flushed it down the toilet. The entire bottle too. Yeah, the aroma alone was a trigger but I did it and felt good about it. I'm proud of myself.

I just wanted to share. :)

Wow, you did good. I am really rooting for you. You are inspiration to newbies like myself.
