Just do whatever you can in the beginning to NOT DRINK. Put NOT DRINKING up there in your mind with the priority of KEEP BREATHING. First, stay alive. Second, don't drink.

Remember when you fly in a plane, and the airline attendant tells you to afix your oxygen mask on yourself first before you help your loved ones with theirs? Why do they say to do that? Thats right, because if you pass out you will be no help to yourself or anyone else.

In the same way you must make "sobriety first" your mantra. Tell yourself: "No matter what, this is non negotiable."

Tell yourself there will never again be a good enough reason to drink or a bad enougb reason to drink. Because drinking steals all reason.
