welcome jaw
not drinking is tough but its do-able i'm at nearly five months not drinking
i used to not be able to go five hours
try to think of i wont drink right now this minute
try not to think about how long you have not drank for
when i did my first day i could not believe it
i did two weeks and then i hit a low spot i was so very lonely all my buddys were in the pub,but if you can stay sober for a week or two when you do see your buds all drunk and falling over talking crud you will think oh no was i really like them
not to mention when you stop drinking for a month your health gets so much better and you feel great
i will never drink again .. i feel that great
