Are you asking us to take bets? Should we start a pool?

EDIT: OK. I read the sub rules and now understand the question. Apologies for the snark.

My advice: Set an achievable goal. Even one as short as 48 hours. Improve upon that each time.

lol, your first response was fine imo!

Usually I'll drink too much and feel like shit, then after a day or two or three I feel really good and that is when I want to drink again. I'd like to make a week to start.

The key, for me at least, is not trying to not drink at all, but to have only one or two. I had a glass of wine with dinner on Sunday. I really wanted another but held the line. I find that 'just one more' can devolve into a binge and then feeling like crap the next day.

Having a drink or two and then forcing myself to eat is the best way I've found to stop myself from binge drinking.
