quit drinking for one week

You can get alot done on a Sunday when you don’t start it with mimosas! I decided feeling more in control with life would make me not need to escape so much – started by cleaning house so I could feel more organized. Sunday afternoons/evenings are typically spent drinking, so I’m trying to lay low and keep busy!

I see that over 1000 people want to quit drinking – I’m not ready to go there. But I’ve realized I am drinking too much. Usually 3 glasses to one bottle most nights. I don’t sleep well, and just joined boot camp which is kicking my butt. The last year of drinking has really taken a toll on me, and I’m very unhappy that I’ve been getting cravings…typically I’ll leave work and my brain starts saying “hmm, we should go out to dinner and have wine!” When I don’t drink, the next day I’ll start getting a detox headache, and I really crave carbs – if not wine, then bread or pizza. I need to quit this cycle to get healthy! Not many people looking at “one week”, but I’m doing this for me – if anyone wants to join in, I’d love the support!

This is day 3 and I am positive I am going to make it. I have actually resolved to quit drinking, forever, for the rest of my life. It feels just like a break up!

Is there any drug available to help you stop drinking? I can go a day or two and then I’m back ON…I can’t just have a drink or two….I drink til I pass out….I need HELP

After being told by my doc to not drink so much, concerns from my wife about drinking, i have made the decision to commit for one week to no alcohol. For some this may not be a big deal but for me it is. It has been almost 10 years since I have gone a full 7 days with out. I am hopeful this will get me on track to work out more and cut back on the way too many calories I consuime from alcohol. I think I can do and I feel writing about it can help.

its actually been 8 days now. i feel so much better, i’m going to attempt to go a month.

5 days and counting.

i think i can do it through the week. i can. let’s see how the weekend turns out. i don’t want to stop going out, although im tired of partying until i pass out, its fun (it seems at the moment), but it doesnt really get me anywhere, at the end. my drinking problem has now worried my family and most of my “good” friends.

well after some really rough news, i turned to alcohol. so i’m starting over. where is my self restraint?

well things have gotten out of control, again. so tonight was the 1st night i didnt drink although there are cold beers in the fridge calling out to me. i just need another release. i wish i felt more comfortable in my own skin. the idea of quitting drinking forever is too frightening. so i would rather make this small goal. one day down.
