Hi Dolly,
Congrats on 10 Days!
There are many options to gain the support you need. When I quit, I was unwilling to go to AA. I was afraid to go so I checked out different programs. I quit using AVRT. If you google "free crash course AVRT" you will find a great crash course . This and SR got me through the first 10 months. I got to a point where I questioned my quitting and I knew I can never drink again. All bets were off and I decided to go to a AA meeting. It helped and got me back on track and I met some great people who understand our situation.

I guess what I am trying to say is that quitting drinking can be done many ways. The most important thing in the equation is to do whatever it takes to not drink. If someone starts feeling like drinking it helps to do something... Exercise, post on SR, watch a movie, listen to music, do yoga, go to an AA meeting. Distraction and support were very helpful to me.

Good luck.
