Tips? Well, just a few to start with:

- Accept that you have a problem and you'll never be able to get "just one" drink. Regardless of when your last drink was you most likely will end up with a binge again;

- After accepting this take one day at a time - say "I'm not going to drink just today". And repeat this every day. If you mind starts wondering about upcoming holidays etc. - stop it. You'll handle this when it comes;

- Have a plan - what are your triggers? What to do when you are bored and want to have a drink to "spice up" you life, or whatever you reasons to drink are;

- If you have no support in this, post here every time you Addictive Voice (voice which convinces you that it's Ok to have one glass, you deserve it, and other blah-blah) hits you.

The road of sobriety can be quite rogue sometimes, but it's worth it.
