Good job nating!! Congrats on 2 weeks!

I had urges to drink several times in the first month and they're so maddening. I just tried to do what I could to turn my attention away. Coming here and reading like crazy seems to be one of the most helpful things for me. I've read newcomer's posts (over 150 pages of them!) from the past year, and it really helps me realize I DON'T want to repeat day 1 again.

I try to find something to look forward to each day (a good meal, a new PC game, a TV show, surfing the internet, a new book, are just a few I use). And I also try to think about what's good in my life and practice some gratitude.

It sucks, I know, but it does pass.
