Cut it off completely I used The Easy Way by Dr. Allen Carr and prayer. It depends on each individual how they want to leave it. I weaned myself after the Holidays. I was completely ready to cut it off in February. With lots of willpower, prayer and faith I am now alcohol free. I  tried before , quitting  cold turkey, but  never worked. Because it made me feel deprived  and depressed. I do not think of drinking or ever I want to pick one up.  I love my life and I thank God he gave me the willpower strength and signs that it was time to quit. As I read some of the stories they are still in the alcohol trap. The trap I was in. I feel for them but only they can get themselves out. Thank you replying and helping out.

Welcome to the group.

6 drinks would be considered a binge so cutting that down or out would be a good idea for your health. How have you tried to cut back so far? What worked for you in the past?

Welcome Want2Be Free!  It sounds like you are ready for a change and this is a good place to start.  Read through the posts and threads on this site and you will find lots of good stuff. I found support here and along with lots of other supports, I have been sober for 21 months.  Best thing I have ever done for myself.  There is a way through and it sounds like you have some children who would benefit from a engaged, sober Mom.  Good luck and keep posting here.

I have been drinking for 21 years and I am sick and tired of it. I worked hard and weaned myself down to 5 days no drinking. I drink on the weekend cuz I am tired and stressed. I don't drink until the evening but it's 6 beers sometimes 8 I am tired of it I just want stop all together. Had a horrible dream about it and that makes me even more scared. Hate it sitting drinking instead of just chilling with no alcohol. Crazy thing I am single mom youngest is 8 and I have so much to live for. I want to be free of  weekend binge.  Some might not call 6 beers a binge but I consider it a binge cuz it's 21 years too many.I am glad I ran into this forum. I want to go through my first weekend with no alcohol. Any advise or pointers will gladly be accepted.
I just want to be free of this and ready for a sober life.
