I think with me it is not so much a challenge not to drink out of a sense of old routine or boredom but more the exasperations or whatever pulls me down into a negative mood - those are the things that I am wary of, but still going strong for me.
Hi Toronto, five months is awesome, great job. I think my biggest problem, which is similar to yours is still feeling down or depressed and that makes me think that mabey a pill or a drink will make me feel less depressed. I know it wont but that thought passes my mind pretty much on a daily basis. I will keep your accomplishment of 5 months sober in my mind the next time I think about taking a drink, thanks!
