Decided I was going to try to be strong and go out tonight without drinking (two friends' bands playing two venues). I did take a Xanax (lowest dose available), and it seemed to help, as I actually made it through the night without a drink!
Over the course of the next month, I'm going to try to quit drinking for a few/several months. This month, if I "lapse", I'm not going to beat myself up, just try again.
Part of the reason for this is that I finally made an appointment to talk to my doc about getting a prescription for Xanax. It seems to work - I think with a stronger dosage, it might actually work well. I noticed tonight that, as opposed to most nights when I go out "clean", I was relatively at ease. Usually, it takes me a couplefew drinks to loosen up enough to socialize, but after several, I end up all bummed out, so it's not much help. I feel pretty decent tonight, albeit a bit tired.
On that note, I think I'll go to bed now. Got a bunch of work to do on the kitchen tomorrow - and I found the ceiling light I've been looking for. If I remember, I'll try to post a pic of it tomorrow.
