OK... EVERYONE IS GONNA KILL ME - but........

I think you should put it away somewhere, where you won't be tempted to dip into it. That is if you plan to mod after the 30 days.

I think tipping it is a waste of money if you are just going to replace it eventually.

BUT if your plans are to abstain - do tip it in some roses as IAD said and watch them die.

I agree with ceremoniously dumping it. While dumping, acknowledge that you are purposly choosing your life's path. You choose to be the best that was intended for you to be. Declare that with each drop that goes down the drain, so do life's problems, which are amplified by the use of alcohol. Declare that you choose to be fully present in each and every second of your life from this moment on!

I don't know what your long term intentions are, but if you have a goal to remain AF for ANY extended period of time, TOSS.
Would you keep cocaine in your house if you were trying to kick that habit? I am not trying to be trite but if your goal is to NOT DRINK then taking away immediate temptations will only aid you in your effort. Best of luck to you. Krigs

Hiya One Way-
Honest eh, ok, what i would do ( did do ) is sit down looking at the bottle of alcohol with a pen and paper in hand and write down as many detrimental things that have happened in your life due to alcohol and then ask yourself if this bottle of poison in front of you is really worth it?
I hope you make the best choice for your life.
I would toss it and get my life back!
:h Makes for a good drain cleaner.

Ok so instead of tossing it I gave it away !! What a great idea WannaB I think I will pretend there is still a bottle in front of me and do that anyways =)

I've done several 30 days stretches, and agree with those above. Toss is good. It removes the temptation to "blow it" in case of a moment of weakness. Would it really be a "treat" to take a step backward? Besides you are saving so much money by not drinking that you can't make the argument the stuff is valuable.

Well done OWS. Hope it gave you great satisfaction.

I prefer to keep it in the fridge. I Love the feeling when I go to the fridge, see it, go for my fresca, and don't think twice about it.

Keeping it around helps me feel good about myself.

Crazy Huh.

I can totally understand that and would love to be able to do that myself one day just not strong enough right now ....ONE DAY !!

I tossed mine. It really was a very liberating feeling!
I'm day 3 AF now and so happy I finally took the plunge. I just grew tired of playing the waiting game. What was I waiting for anyway????

BUT ..I do have a AL in the house, tonight I found myself thinking I cant pour this all out !! Then I thought maybe I should just save it for Sat night ,treat myself and drink it all (I would be feeling mighty fine !)

OR do I keep it there ,resist temptation , after 30 days I can then decide if I want to drink again of not

What would you do ?? HONESTLY

:crazymonkey: ull

I have been out of town for a week, so I am just seeing your post. Congrats on being AF. A couple of days after joining this site I asked the same question. I had half a bottle of my poison left. My husband said that keeping it would make me stronger by resisting it. I got lots of replies saying throw the stuff out. I am glad I did. If it was here I would have drank it. (Now, I'm going to read all the replies to your post)
