Success!
Two movies, two beers last night. It felt absolutely natural and normal and there was no urge to have more. After the movies were over, I read, took a bath, read some more, and then went to bed when I got tired.
There have been so many benefits from not drinking over the last two and a half weeks, and I want them to continue. I have lost weight, regained trust in myself, felt more capable and taken more of an interest in my appearance. I feel good.
I have a pretty strict idea of what constitutes reasonable and unreasonable drinking. If I continue on the path of reasonable drinking, fantastic. If I find myself wanting one more and one more, it's back to complete abstinence with no excuses.
This feels different than before.

Going for some type of accountability here, because good Lord do I need it. It's slightly worse than I'll let on, but still much better than it could be.

Well, I congratulate you, Melly.

It is not an easy thing to consider. I think you did a great job by simply stepping up to the plate and holding yourself accountable. That, in itself, is success. And then two-and-a-half weeks of total abstinence? Great job!
We all love you and want you happy and healthy and carefree.
Thanks, Adam. I am still going to keep an eye on myself and don't want drinking during the week or excessive drinking on the weekends. If I can have a couple of drinks on a weekend night, great. If I find myself slipping in more than is reasonable, I'm done with it. I want to be happy and healthy and carefree :)
I have Antabuse and am not afraid to use it.
The shit is a Godsend, seriously. Taking it in the morning when resolve is at its strongest, and what do you know? No drinking that day!
