and will not be driving past the usual temptations.

I will be studying to take an exam on December 4th. A very difficult exam, the most difficult that I have ever taken, and I am good at taking exams.
The reason for this is to focus my mind on a project that does not involve alcohol.

These are the two things that I will be doing. I have been aware of this for some time now, and I hope I have made the appropriate adjustments in my daily life that will permit success.

If others are also quitting today (or near this period), I would like to know how your progress has been.
