drink without getting drunk

I did this. Stopped being too relaxed when out, and saying yes everytime someone was offering the next round.

Now Im not drinking at all. Gave it up. To reach my other goals. 2 months and counting.

Sure it makes me a little more social anxious, and not as silly as my friends… but I think the health benefits outweigh the social benefits.

i totally know how you feel. i’ve given up drinking 3 times, for 6 months each time. but i want to be able to have a few glasses of wine (3, not 13….) and say ‘enough’. i don’t seem to have a ‘stop’ button, only a ‘fuck it’ button, which allows me to go crazy. i’ve tried all of the home by midnight, only take out £50, stop at 3 drinks, book a cab to take me home before i can get drunk etc. but the fact is, if i get pissed, nothing can stop me. i have definitely got better over time, but still can’t be in control. it’s all or nothing! anyone have any fabulous tips? or success stories? love to hear….

Im starting to think I have a problem. I thought it would be easy to give up getting sh*tfaced everytime I go out with the new diet, but I find myself breaking the diet when out at parties, and having a few too many drinks.

The only time I can control myself, and stop before I’m drunk is when I’m at an expensive bar and my cheapness takes over :-o

...parties and me don’t go so well.
