Hey Margareth - That HALT thing is really helpful for me too. I'm glad you don't have any alcohol there - the time WILL pass. Do you have anything else to do? Something that can take your mind off of it? The past few weeks I've had to remind myself constantly that I really want to do this, that I'll be so grateful in the morning if I don't drink, etc. I've read hundreds of people's posts to drill it into my head. Just think, if you get through this, you'll be a little stronger the next time. So hang in there - you can get through it!
