Can you take yourself out of drinking situations even for one Saturday? Have you considered AA meetings? I found in my earliest stages of recovery i really had to concentrate removing myself from situations where i would be tempted to drink or buy booze. I didn't even go grocery shopping alone for a few. When my husband and i go out to dinner, we put the drinks menu out of eyeshot right away and make sure the waiter doesn't drop off a wine list. I find that keeping my guard up at all times becomes second nature the more i practice it and it makes living a sober life with fewer temptaions a little easier. I hope that helps a little.

Day 64 for me! Woohoo!
