quit drinking (read all 3 entries…)
In Limbo

Well, I’m totally collecting all the self-digust I can muster. It’s been three months.. I’m nowhere where I used to be, I now have a plan. However, nothing in my life right now competes with the feeling of being relaxed and care-free sensation of a bottle of wine. I still drink. I planned to get rid of the bottle all together, start a raw food diet, be one with myself, find the love of my life, and everything will be okay. It never was.

I find myself searching for these things..I get frustrated because it’s not happening. I come home from working out..I sit in front of the t.v. and I’m numb. I think, “at least if I had a drink I can feel, I can feel something”. I hate to say it. I hate to think, that my life is more artistic, more thoughtful, with a bottle of wine. I’m told that this is bad, and I feel that this is bad when I wake up in the morning with a crazy hangover. When it comes to 6pm—-I cuddle a bottle of merlot as most of you might your girlfriend, your boyfriend, yourself.

I wish something could compete with this, but it doesn’t.

tough one

Have you considered trying AA or something similar? I’m not a huge fan of AA but at least you can meet some like-minded people. Or hang out with some friends and co-workers and do things that don’t involve drinking. Maybe get a dog? It sounds like there is a lot of weight on the loneliness aspect. I had a lot of that myself since I work from home and am by myself 75% of the day. beer, liquor and wine were my best friends through a lot of those times, but I realized they were bad company. Maybe start posting here or other msg boards and chat rooms when you have those feelings to get distracted, and there are always those meetings.

I hope it works out.

take it easy.

Thanks, I needed that..

that has been my problem for years. I love my wine, its my best freind to, but it has become toxic to me. its making me sick, and I dont like myself anymore. Dont remember a lot of the things i do the night before, although I am very functional. Just scary. Awhile ago, i got behind the wheel in that state though, and I promised myself I never would. so, time to quit. Gawd, its going to be tough, tried this enough times to know. wish me luck, as I wish youhappiness…
