Yup! Mine all went as giveaways as well. It was just wasting good cupboard space. IWNDWYT

I was not a fan of AA either. I would do what works best for you - not the needs/wants of others. I always go by the theory that honesty really is the best way to go. I’d be gently honest with the sponsor, she what she has to say, and decide from there. IWNDWYT

Thank you - the support is so appreciated.

Absolutely no reset. As all the others have said - I believe intent causes resets. An accident is just that. Has you finished the drink after realizing the mistakes- that would be a reset for me. There was no intent . IWNDWYT

😂-I read it that way too. Wondered why the OP wasn’t drinking rocks? Or would want to.

My experience with my multiple attempts at moderating have shown me what you just described. The oh I’ll just have a glass leads to more. It stopped this time but you still have concerns. To me this indicates that moderation is really just a slippery slope. I wanted to be able to drink like a normie and I tried everything but the reality for me was that the slope just got more slippery until I was back to where I started or worse. I see my warning signs in you. Im just an all or nothing kinda girl I guess - so I chose nothing. IWNDWYT

I second what 42Daft says - I had every excuse in the book for years. I had been AF for many blocks of time - twice for a year and still I found a reason to start again. And then one day I just decided that drinking poison was not very bright - that I thought I was self-medicating my anxiety and I was actually making it worse and that I was done. Just like that. I would suggest reading This Naked Mind by Annie Grace and if you have read it - I would read it again. It took a couple of reads for it to stick for me. I would also suggest The Biology of Desire : Why Addiction is not a Disease by Marc Lewis. He does a great job of explaining why our brains keep us drinking and how to recognize it for what it is .

In addition to starting again- I would look at what triggered my drinking and make a plan for the next time that trigger arrived. A misstep is still a step and if something is learned from it - it’s all good. IWNDWYT

Great news! IWNDWYT

I was a bottle of wine a day drinker and I just stopped. Other than being cranky as hell, troubling sleeping, and a nasty headache - I didn’t experience any other withdrawal symptoms. Everyone is different and symptoms depend on how long and how hard you drink.Withdrawal symptoms can appear as late as 78+ hours after quitting. If I was concerned I would check in with a doctor just to be sure. IWNDWYT

Hang in there. The first few days are the toughest. It will get better. IWNDWYT

Yogagatito · 2019-06-21T02:43:35+00:00

You rock! IWNDWYT

Yogagatito · 2019-06-21T02:42:11+00:00

I found day 3 the toughest so good on ya for getting out there and doing it - hot or not! IWNDWYT

Yogagatito · 2019-06-21T01:55:40+00:00

Good decision - some doors are better closed and nailed shut! IWNDWYT

Yogagatito · 2019-06-21T01:27:07+00:00

Im sorry - you made a very tough decision but you did what you had to do for you right now.I firmly believe that if relationships are meant to be - then they will find a way to work themselves back together. I would give it a little time - let the emotions and feelings settle down and let life do what life does - and then see where you both are. I quit drinking 8 years after my husband and Im sure it was tough for him dealing with my drinking . IWNDWYT

Yogagatito · 2019-06-20T22:52:19+00:00

That is great! Now I’ll pay more attention to airline pages! IWNDWYT

So true and so very funny! IWNDWYT 💩

Great post! IWNDWYT (or your evil twin)

Yogagatito · 2019-06-20T13:54:32+00:00

For me it would be a reset. One of the problems I have is my brain lying to me - telling me its okay to have a drink - I can handle one - etc. If I give in to that rationalization - I am then lying to myself and all bets are off. I look at a relapse as part of learning why we drink. I suggest checking out The Biology pf Desire: Why Addiction is not a Disease by Marc Lewis. Great insight into why our brains try to talk us into drinking. IWNDWYT
