I have found that the setting a date thing only made me more anxious and drink even more because of the thought of parting with booze. So I'm not sure that is such a good idea... When I started considering it as just an experiment it worked best. I thought "What if I don't drink just for one day? What will happen?" The weight of not being allowed to do it ever was lifted. It's such a huge undertaking that I broke it down to one day, then another and so on. Because I know I can drink any time I want it doesn't seem so hard.
I really need help with my drinking?
