Hi Everyone:
Thank you for all the encouragement. You guys ROCK!
I'm 6 days sober now and have attended two meetings. I have had minor cravings but have resisted. I have made changes in my life to help me stop drinking. They are:
-Keeping a separate calendar and writing V for victory for each sober day. It's fun to see them fill up
-Not driving alone. I take one of my boys anytime I go somewhere. It keeps me accountable with my wife and kids. She doesn't have to worry about me hitting a bar or liquer store when I have one of them.
-I show my wife the money in my wallet each morning and night.
-Am seeing an addiction counselor once a week to try to understand this thing better
-Am attending my church men's fellowship meetings once a week - building positive relationships
-I start the morning with a Bible verse about relying on God. I write it on an index card and carry it around. I check it several times a day
Talk to you later.
