Hi Katia, Barb, JYL,
Sitting at my computer in the evening without a drink seems so strange...but it's gotten to be a habit over the past few years that has caused me to gain about 30 pounds and do some pretty silly things, not to mention all of the money I've spent on wine...so I'm trying to break it.
I was on the MM list earlier this year and absed for three weeks. The abs and the list helped me to drink less, and/or less often, but I like drinking way too much, and haven't been able to stop completely so I can get this weight off. I keep telling myself one won't hurt, but it's hardly ever just one or two.
So, here I am nosing around - and thankful Dr. Bob started this board. Earlier this year I got to the point where I didn't care that I was depressed - a new low for me. So I decided to try to stop drinking to see if it would help my mood. I posted on the other boards to see if anyone could tell me from experience that my depression would be better, but no one really did, at least that convinced me. But, I know it takes more than three weeks - so here I go again.
I don't have Rational Recovery, but I think Responsible Drinking may be along the same lines -my Friday night reading material... :)
Thanks - PV
