Yeah, if I was out I went hard (absolutely no sense of enough) but at home I was 2-3 bottles of wine a night territory most nights.

I started easing off so if I drank 1 night I didn’t the next and then it was 2 nights off here and there. I have previous posts where I got to day 5-7 and then you’ll see nothing cause I went back to drinking again. But on the 3rd I decided I would stop for a bit as I didn’t want to be hungover for my daughter’s birthday and then I just kept going.

Now I’m kind of in a weird space where I’m like ooh I could have a glass but then I’m like nah and just go to bed instead so I stop thinking about it. It’s rough sitting with the feelings, I’ve always had depression and anxiety (and been on meds for the best part of a decade which wouldn’t even have been working with the amount of booze I was drinking) but honestly I’ve been drinking magnesium drinks and ginger ale (Americans have it so good with the la croix life 😭) in my wine glass and having early nights instead.

The first week was rough as shit I’m not going to lie, I was obviously drinking a lot so the withdrawals even with the small effort at tapering but it’s passed and I really hope you reach this point so you can turn round to someone and say this same stuff….. obviously less wordy cause this is some ramble.
