Hello all
I am new to the Managing Drinking Forum, but not new to this site. I spent many years on this site learning to quit smoking. Unfortunately, with the new site, I lost my quit meter on that. I think I may be 3 years smoke free.
I thought I would know how to quit drinking, because I quit smoking, but here I am still drinking. I realized last night that I need to work my way through the program and do the thinking and the work - come up with a plan and follow through with it.
I have also realized that managing my drinking right now is not an option for me - I just can't have just one. This is the same as with quitting smoking - I can never have just one drag. So at this point, it is complete abstinence for me.
Seems like this forum isn't too busy. I apologize now for responding to old posts as I work my way through them looking for knowledge and support.
