I just focus on not drinking TODAY! I try not to worry about tomorrow and there is no sense thinking about the past. I do what I need to do everyday like meetings and/or being on these forums but I try not to over think it. This alcoholic needs to take it just day by day or even minute by minute. At the end of the day if I have another 24 hours of sobriety under my belt, it has been a successful and great day.
