Yay! You definitely won this battle. It really is a series of battles. With the tools and support here, you can continue winning. The less alcohol you put in your body, the less you will crave for the most part.
What's weird and more difficult to control for me is that occasional day that Big Al calls out very loudly, DRINK! I guess I only had one of those days in recent weeks. My weakness is a glass of wine on the patio. I go out, turn on my patio fountain, page through gardening catalogs and magazines, watch the birds and other wildlife, gaze lovingly at my large gardens. Sometimes my husband joins me, sometimes not. I am stopping at one glass, and not every day.
I don't care about social situations so much. In the past I know I was drinking more than others there, and they probably did notice. So I'd rather not drink at all there at this point.
Stay in touch, this helps me too.
