Thats what has worked for me. I get up and tell myself that I am not going to pick up that first drink today. Maybe tomorrow I will but for the next 24 hours then I aint. Nothing more, nothing less. And I try to get to a meeting or speak to somebody on the phone. If I am struggling I switch it to just an hour. Promise myself for an hour. And if thats a struggle then I promise myself just for 10 minutes.

And if that dont work then start again. And again and again. Stiil go to meetings because I was told that if you get your body along to them then eventually your mind will turn up as well. And it does. It really does.

But just for today. Thats it. Nothing else matters.
