That's fine. Just don't drink for today. Then when tomorrow comes, make that same promise for that single day. Just keep going, one day at a time.

I can't stress how important honesty is to your recovery. No more lies. Not to your husband, not to your therapist, but most of all, not to yourself. No more lies about not being able to quit or needing to drink. Those are lies that alcohol tells you to keep you in its grips.

The truth is you can quit, you can get better. Because it can get much, much worse if you don't.
