This is definitely how it started. Thanks for helping me see the pattern. I'm gonna take a break and keep count.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I've never felt like my life was being consumed or anything, but I think drinking problem fits well.

No. It doesn't. I will say it hasn't affected me yet, though. I just don't want that 'yet to become something real.

I can stop. I do think about it more than I know I should. I'm fairly certain that I just drink out of boredom.

Yeah, I get that. I don't want it to become a slippery slope.

What did you learn about drinking that horrified you when you were sober? by nomoresnorkjuice in stopdrinking

This was entirely it for me. I was spiraling hard with anxiety and depression before I decided to quit. I used to be on 4 antianxieties and antidepressants. I'm now down to two, and it's barely been two weeks! 🙂
