every step you take is a step forward, but i would say, try and change your thinking. don't tell yourself you can't manage day two as its almost giving yourself permission to drink honey. take evey day as it comes. if this is day 2 today, then say to yourself "i will not drink today. just today. that's all i have to get through. one day. i'll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow."


it truly is the mantra of the long term abstainers here and one i'm truly trying to use as my own way out. we are all here. we can do this. one day at a time x

Hi Tara, good for you for asking for help, challenge yourself, get yourself to day 2 then day 3. I am sure he will be willing to help you out. When you are feeling anxious, get on here and chat away to others, it really does help. good luck

Asking for help is a great big step, but make sure you use whatever help is offered.

Hi Tara why not try the thread ODAT (one day at a time) that way you don't need to count you just commit yourself to try for that day, sometimes its one minute, or one hour at a time, just try and do whatever it takes, good luck :l

Realising that you need help is a huge step and asking someone close like your husband is massive progress. My husband is the only person (other than here on MWO) to whom I've admitted I'm an alcoholic and it was really hard, i felt like a huge disappointment to him but instead he was happy that i was able to name it for what it is..but as UKBlonde says, take the help, many times i haven't and kept slipping back
Good luck
