Yes I'll be about and thank you for popping by.
I recognise it's that first sip. Am beginning to make plans like... fizzy water feels like beer but doesn't make you drunk. I love fizzy water. .. and fizzy water through a straw makes my mouth feel full so it'll satisfy that craving. .
But first... Choose water not beer. Rrgg

I hate to say this but you shouldn't hang out with drinking buddies if you want to quit I had to do just that my best buddy is a drinker. It's just a little while until you can get stronger and say no to a drink. My best buddy knows I quit and she's proud and supports me and she said she will try to quit also!!! See what I started.

It's about drinking but not getting drunk. Not being that person. But to do that I know I have to abstain for a long time. Reset the reality counter

As for fizzy water, I love it. Love it. Feels like beer but isn't. Also incredibly cold water through a straw is every bit as good if nor better than a glass of cold white
Rea11y, once we have a problem, there's no stopping it. I, too, said that I wouldn't drink during the week, and I didn't--until I had a bad day and did...and then it was 'I'll only drink on Tuesday and Friday'...you can guess the rest.

I've only been completely sober for 22 days, but I finally realized that, for people like us, there's no such thing as being a 'light drinker.'

I promise you I'm not trying to lecture you...but what you said was SO familiar to me.

Yeah I'm a Tuesday avd Friday girl too. And I AM the drinking buddy that others drink with. I am the bad influence avd I'm.ashamed of that. Which helps.
I live in an alcoholics town too. More pubs than shops or facilities. I stopped going to the pubs cos I didn't want to drink.so I drink at home . Eejit.
The friend I went out with last night is my housemate. She stopped drinking cos it was making her ill so she's a week addict now. I smoke too but I didn't like how it made me feel so I just have a baby one at ed time only. We're going to help each other with our demons.
