Hi, I have been actively working the overdrinking program since August. I have been an everyday drinker for as long as I can remember. I have successfully moved to a number of non drinking days during the week and have allowed myself to feel the urges and record them on the tracking sheet. I feel very happy that I have had that success so far. Where I am falling short is on the drinking days. I rarely follow my drinking plan and overdrink. I am worried that I will not be able to stop unconsciously drinking on the drinking days. I worked a model for it.
c: Drinking days
t: I will not be able to control my drinking and will over drink and not follow my plan
f: scared and sad
a: avoid working on this and just overdrink on drinking days and be happy with the success of not drinking on other days.
r: feeling like crap the day after a drinking day

c: Drinking days
t: I am curious how many drinks it takes me to go over the edge and start unconsciously drinking
f: determined to figure this out, hopeful
a: start with 4 drinks and do an analysis the next day to see if you were able to follow the plan and allow urges after that. If I failed move down to 3 drinks on the next drinking day to see if that number allows me to be in control and follow the plan and allow the urges. If that didn’t work move down to 2 drinks on the next drinking day etc…

Does this model seem like a good way to deal with my issue of overdrinking on drinking days?
