Hey people.. This sounds nuts but
I promised my self to have a fine vine bottle if i could make my sober target for 01 month.. Is that a bad idea? Will i get addicted again cuz of that vine bottle?
Btw sorry for my bad english

If you are like me that bottle would just turn into months of drinking right back where I was before I stopped.

I am the same way as Tekink.
If I "celebrated" every milestone of sobriety, I would NEVER bee sober for more than 30 days, and the binge may never stop

Yes, in my opinion, it's a very bad idea.

Rewarding myself with the very substance I'm trying to stop seems counterproductive.

I couldn't moderate when I was drinking. One bottle would eventually lead to a blackout.

Abstaining for ANY length of time doesn't reset the switch and stop us being addicted to alcohol.

Why did you decide to stop for a month? What was alcohol doing or what happened that promoted that decision?

It is a very bad idea Luke. Do you really think it's possible after what I assumne are years of drinking to reset yourself after not drinking for a month?

I think maybe you are confusing abstinence for control.

I have no control once I start drinking, but abstinence allows me to not have to deal with that issue ever again

Drinking to reward yourself for staying sober is a bad idea. Stay sober and see how much better your life can get.

At a month in, I was beginning to feel the benefits of sobriety. It would have been insanity to risk that.
