Well it didnt quite work like that for me...
I needed to make some huge lifestyle changes. It wasn't easy at first because my H drank so I was surrounded by alcohol. But I changed all my routines. I stopped seeing my drinking friends. I filled my evenings when I was most tempted by hanging around on SR, and becoming a member of AA.
I joined the class of March (later the class of May when I relapsed), and still post there regularly. Not only when I feel I want a drink but to exchange thoughts, worries and experiences because by helping others we also help ourselves.
I would suggest you join the class of December, and read others stories of what has worked/is working for them.
The first few weeks are a bumpy ride, but so so worth it x
