Hi, I’m 38, and i’ve been reading this great app for a while now but only just decided to get involved as I hope it will give me extra motivation to keep off the wine. I don’t drink everyday but about three days a week, 1 to 2 bottles of wine which is loads better than what I used to get through. But I’m finding it hard to stop, so need extra help, and I think I’m in the right place 
I just can’t handle the guilt, shame and constant arguments with myself about wine, I just want to be free.

Hi, I’m also 38 and a wine girl! At home I would mostly drink half-1 bottle a night, never more when alone. But socially I would sometimes take it too far. In the past few months I had about 3 blackouts and did some stupid stuff. I’m on day 11, and the first few days were the hardest. My goal at the moment is 2months without alcohol. You can do it!

I hear you. I am.exactly the same with red wine. There could.be anything else in the house and I wont touch it, but as soon as red wine enters…boom! 2 bottles at a time easy
So I too decided that rather than not be able to stop…I just shouldnt start. I filled the fridge with ginger beer and the like which I now save soley for a replacement when I am craving. Its only week one but after so many failed attempts I am determined to succeed this time. Even started back at the gym so the little nagging voice in my head is distracted. Good luck. I think getting on here and having a visual track of progress really helps too.
Jelly beans fix everything! 
Wine is my downfall as well. Never thought this would be my life at 41! This is day 1 for me and I’m so glad already to have found this app. I am nervous about the next few days or a week, and when I told my spouse I want to quit drinking he said really doesn’t think I’ll be able to. Not very encouraging but fingers crossed. I NEED to set a better example for my kid’s!
