thats a really positive decision to make, i hope it all goes well for you...make sure you have a coping mechanism set up and a back-up one too jsut ioncase the firs tone fails, and make sure you have a safe person who you can go to and talk to irl, it really helps to know that you arent alone

take care

That's quite a challenge and I commend you on that. I know that sometimes it just happens - so don't let that get you down. Just try to keep yourself busy - read, play games on the computer (the ones posted on this site are quite addictive), do some word puzzles, deep breathing. I'm sure you've heard these suggestions before, but it's worth a try. Good luck!

just for today has worked for me for 18 years. i will not drink today because drinking will kill me, make me insane. i do not know about tomorrow. i can drink tomorrow if i want. i will not drink today and today i have not had a drink.

every day of my life i decide that just for today, i will not drink and i let tomorrow take care of itself.

i am sober and i am not hiding my drinking and i am not doing the behavior in public or private that i was so baffled by and ashamed of. ashamed i did not have enough will power to change it. baffled by how to go back and undo the whole thing that turned out to be my whole life. this caused that and i did that because of the other.

it no longer matters what i did or why. what i do is, just for today, i don't drink, finito, end of story, not gonna happen, today.

p.s. and yes i did enjoy drinking, that moment in the evening when i heard the "click" in my brain....the respite...but what came before and after stopped being fun and the "click" in my brain stopped being reliable. i just started being tired of it and sick of it. so i decided to stop for a day, and then another and another and soon it was 5 days and then 30 and you know i just had to go for 90 and to this day 90 days is the magic number for me.

my husband left me, almost 90 days ago, and he messed up because the roller coaster is back at the gate and i am getting off. to bad for him, he never should have let me get to 90 days.

i am going for it
