This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

One of the best tool I got from therapy was learning HALT. Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. These are all triggers and being in one or more of these states is often at the root of wanting to drink. For me, StopDrinking was a good way to head off the Lonely part of that lovely barber shop quartet. Just having the knowledge that HALT is a thing and stopping for a little introspection to see if I was under any of those states went a long way to helping me in the first year of my sobriety.
Hope this helps. You can do this. IWNDWYT.
Wow, first time I hear about that but I can see how those things can trigger it, and TBH today I was all four. I'm gonna keep an eye at it for a few days, and then I'll try again even if I can't do anything about the other things going on. Maybe this time, when I'm sober again, I'll find the way once more. Thanks!
