Well done tonight !!!
One of the things that helps me is 'think through to the end'
Whenever we think of having 'the one' it sounds lovely and civilized.
But move on and play the movie to the end - a different story.
The bad sleep , the thirst, the hangover , the self-hate ,the eye bags etc etc.....
Works for me all the time !!

That's a good idea Satz....the two things I hate the most are the lying awake all night and the clock watching on drinking days....waiting for 6pm ( 5 pm more recently)
Thanks

Sorry Chop - for hi-jacking your thread.

On the Bac -
When I started out here I managed to get it delivered to UK - and my sis sent it over to me.
They wouldn't deliver to Ireland.
I never took it up to high doses - too chicken.

There are plenty of experts on it . You should get lots of advice.It seems to work for those who stick to a schedule.

I know - sleep is one of the things that drove me to wine and one of the reasons I kept it up.
But I sleep like a log now.
Get stuck into a book?

Hi, Chopden--

I like your clear ideas, too. You sound strong and committed. One thing people here talk about is urge surfing - I think there is more about that in the tool box. Certainly there are ideas about what to do instead of drink. Maybe you could add your own.

I am only on day 36 but I can say that I am in this for the long haul. I have proven to myself without a doubt that I need to stay away from the stuff. That being said, I have a hard time saying forever. That is why I have totally embraced "one day at a time." I don't need to think about being sober during my April holiday, just today. It has helped keep my morale up as I build my strength as a sober person.

Jammy- you keep it up, too!

Happy sober Monday, everyone.
