Dawnrunner is so right. There are many different ways to go about this, it will just be a matter of doing some research and finding out which way is best for you.

The best advice that I've followed, is that when you take something away, i.e. alcohol, you should add something to your life as well. Taking alcohol out of the picture may not be enough. Try changing your routine to help fight off the urge, since you are having cravings at the same time every day. I realize this may be difficult since you have children and a routine is basically a way of life. However, you can do this!!

I've read many threads on here...some people take a different way home and avoid driving past their favorite liquor store, some work-out or go to AA meetings. It's totally up to you and what you find works best.

Sober Recovery has definitely influenced me and helped me through the last 19 days. I found this site just as you did and find it very informative and helpful.

Let us know how you are doing! Take care
