Since September I've been, for the most part, moderating my drinking. When I started my new job I decided I would no longer drink on the week nights and drink moderately on the weekends. I've done pretty well, with an occasional slip. I haven't posted much here, but I have kept up with my diary and have read posts almost daily. I am now thinking about taking the leap and quitting completely as my New Year Resolution. I'm not sure if I'm ready, I keep swaying back and forth. I more often think about the benefits of quitting rather than the "loss of fun" if I quit. I've kept in close contact with a couple members of this site and they both have stopped drinking for months now and it is inspiring me to want to be like them. Some other members on this site have also posted insightful messages and have given me more reason to want to stop completely. So between now and the end of the month I need to continue progressive thinking towards total abstinence. Thanks to all of you.
