You know "hangin on the hope of being an occasional drinker" is counterproductive. Just even thinking about it. Don't think about tomorrow. Focus on being sober today..this moment..with each arriving situation. You really don't have to think "never again"...you only need think.."not today"...everyday. You will discover the blessings in sobriety and perhaps then you can think about tomorrow. For me...tomorrow was just to overwhelming. I'm at almost 7 weeks..and well, I can think of "never again..without it freaking the hell out of me...now : )
