The truth!
I have looked at my past behaviors with buying and sneankin wine. I am an alcoholic. No one knows. I love my hunny and he's my soul mate. I don't want to lose him. I had to admit that my behavior is not that of a social drinker. I drank in the store, in the car, poured it in my sports bottle, hid it at home. I enjoy wine with my meals, but I also drank while I was online. My cut off day is gonna be Jan.15th,18

You've struggled to stay sober. Quitting doesn't get easier because you've put it off until some future date. But drinking does.

....... don't want to be a downer but I agree with everyone else. Why wait? I used to do that all the time - making dates to quit. And then I would somehow run over the dates because I was on a "good" binge.

Edwards, reading some of your past posts, i found this:
My hunny said he couldn,t live this way. He can't trust me cause I drink at home during the day, I sneaked wine in the house and sipped. I felt so bad cause I lied to him, and betrayed him
if your husband was at this point then, why would you wait any longer?
your husband may not be around then and today is the perfect day to start the journey of recovery.

Good for you for quiting! I too would sneak a lot regardless of how much I loved my spouse. I myself couldn’t push it out anymore. I could possibly lose him, job, everything I adored and worked so hard for. Had to quit as soon as I sobered up after my last binge. Hugs to you and sending strength your way.

I’m sure you picked your date for a reason, but being past those firsts that happen in the first 60 days will make you feel like a new person. Of course if you aren’t ready to quit....well you aren’t, but like everyone has said, here comes the holidays and making another set of drunk hangover memories filled with all the lying and deceiving, all I know is alcohol is a thief and I’d hate to have it steal another 60 days from you. Especially the days that are meant for hope and forgiveness.

I agree with everyone here. Putting it off to a convenient future date is your alcoholic voice talking. Tell your alcoholic voice (I call it Wolfie) to shut the **** up and start today. You won't regret it, that's a guarantee. Go see a doctor, get some meds to help if needed, and get on with your sober and better life.

If nothing else at least make sure you are drinking less and less up until then if you are really going to put it off that long. I am a wine person too and just finishing a 3 day step down...day one sober tomorrow...60 days seems like a lot and there is a lot of emphasis on sobriety here and for obvious reason....but any day you can at least drink LESS is better than the day before...that's not to say it isn't best to just quit because it is....but be careful with the cold turkey if you don't go into a detox

Two months of "holiday" drinking can ruin your relationship
if your partner is already fed up with the drinking, sneaking, and lies.
It's great you realize you need to stop, but putting it off may lead
to the very outcome you most want to avoid.
Of course it is scary to think about not drinking, but being alone is also scary.
I faced the same issue, and chose the relationship and sobriety.
I am now headed for my twenty year anniversary in Dec.
