[DriftyAlison0]

I thought up this thread where everyone can post some tips that helps you ether stay sober or for those like me who moderates to keep to their plan. My plan for this weekend is to stay af so here are my tips.

Feel free to post your own tips

For those who won't drink (AF)
Keep little money with you at night.
Stay at home when the urges hit and not go to the gas station or anywhere that has alcohol.
Be on MWO.
Go to your support group.
Spend the night at a friend's house who knows of your plan.
Treat yourself the next day for not drinking in your own special way.
Practice saying "no AL for me!".
If you feel like drinking, do something else instead of drinking.



For those who will drink (MOD)
Only have the amount of al in the house that you plan to drink.
If you go out, only carry enough money for the few drinks that you will have.
Practice "no more for me thanks"
Stick to your plan no matter what.
If you feel that you won't stick to your plan for the night, stop drinking or not drink at all.
Have a buddy that will help you stick to the plan.
Treat yourself the next day for sticking to your plan in your own special way.
Go on MWO.
