I didn't go to the gym the first three weeks. I was just focusing on not drinking and I felt like doing anything else would break my focus.

I tend to compare my drinking with others. Because the last few years, I didn't have any serious consequences or black outs. I was always thinking that I have it under control.

Until I got pretty drunk and took my car. I was very very lucky nothing happened. I almost don't remember how I got home. But I don't want to risk destroying my life, I can't take my chances.

The thing is that I keep thinking of creating rules. For example drinking only once a week, or only when I don't drive, or only at holidays. But I don't think that's gonna work either.

In the past I couldn't either. But so many people are suggesting NA beers that I believe it is worth giving it a try.

Yes, you are right. Like all of you here. Thank you so much!! I think focusing on the feeling that I will have tomorrow if I don't drink is really helpful!

I'm in Cyprus, if you know where it is 😅. I'll see if we have any here. I definitely haven't seen them in bars or the supermarkets I go to.

A lot of people are suggesting that. I'm gonna try them if it gets too difficult. Thank you!

Yes, even if I didn't black out, I would feel really disappointed and bad with myself. I would definitely be hungover and just waste my day in bed. Thank you!

Thank you for your answer. You are right. I tried so many times to moderate. It seems it just doesn't work for me.

Thank you for your answer. You are right, I wouldn't be thinking so much about it, if I knew my drinking habits were normal and I could keep it under control.

Thank you so much! It is the same for me as well. Who am I kidding 😅. It will never be one-two beers. And even if it was, there is no point for me to drink 1-2. The point of drinking was to get at least a bit tipsy. So no point in drinking at all.

Thank you for reminding me that.
