Miko Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Cold turkey isn't as bad as it is made out except for the six bottles of spirits a day for the last 60 years person.How do you know whether you need to stop or cut back? Don't do it for the wrong reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverborderline Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Jades you are not a failure - 3 beers instead of 12 ? As they say in AA , progress not perfection , I know it is easier said than done but try and go easy on yourself Hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann51 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Jades: I struggle with drinking and eating problems also. I really do understand. I've stopped going to AA meetings, although I like to try to work the program on my own. I've messed up miserably of late. I know it's not good for me. Last damn drink was yesterday....I've got to fight this, though; perhaps we could all fight this together. I'll keep you in my thoughts/prayers, as well as others on this thread who've responded.
