I'm still in my early days of a second quit.
I must say that thinking about the horrible times on the booze usually helps and also I try to think that with the money I save I can go somewhere nice.
(Booze prices in Japan are not the cheapest in the world......)
Something I had not thought about until recently returning from a trip to the USA. (I hadn't been out of Japan or holiday for 6yrs)
The last drink I had was on the plane and I couldn't even finish it.
urges are always coming at me from all angles because I work in the booze industry, looking at drunk people is a great way to know your better off not being like that drunk guy/woman over there...
