EXACTLY!!!!!
I dont know what your religious affiliations are but, I pray. I dont think I would have gotten this far without God and prayer. He has simply lifted my desire to drink. You may think , oh well good for you. But I tell you, it's true. TRY IT!! Pray every day whether you feel like it, whether you mean it or not. Pray for your compulsion to be lifted. At night, thank Him for not drinking.
What's to lose??
I am so proud of you for not drinking. Think back to your first couple days and the miserableness and how badly you wnated to drink......yet you didn't. You have come a long way.
Like ifgan said, don't set yourself up for failure. Instead of saying,chalk me up for a beer; say No way. No how am I drinking a beer.
You really are doing great. Keep it up!
