  And I'm still feeling good - strong in my resolve. Some things I've noticed: When upsetting things happen, which of course, they ALWAYS do, for one reason or another, I notice that my go to used to be, "Well, I need a drink," or "I deserve a drink," and now, I notice that I'm thinking, "I like that I don't need to have a drink; that I can manage my feelings on my own terms, without relying on altering my mood with alcohol."I notice that my sleep is SO much better. I used to wake up at 1 or 2...

  So it's been 8 days without alcohol, and I'm feeling good and strong. I passed a test on Sunday when my family got together for brunch, where they usually serve mimosas. I simply said "I'm going to stop drinking for awhile," and it was no big deal. I had wound myself up about it, worrying that I would seem like a party-pooper, or whatever, but it was NOTHING. They were FINE with it. And supportive. I also found that I eat a lot less when I don't drink, which I find interesting. As I said in a...

  Can one be a mild, sort-of, middling alcoholic? I have found this site, so clearly I think there is a problem, but I am not a black-out drunk, and can go many days without drinking at all. But when I do, I seem to have no natural "stop" inside me, the way many others do. For instance, I bought a bottle of wine last night, and promised myself I would only drink half of it.
