A few things...

1. Confine your thoughts to the present. The most important day to remain clean and sober will always be today, and today only.

2. Each time you defeat a craving, your addiction becomes weaker. Thus, the last thing you want to do to debilitate your resolve is drink. Drinking strengthens the beast inside of you. So does excessive noise, which includes watching too much television when you could be fertilizing your mind with far more stimulative things such as fresh air, peace, quiet, soft music, or self educational reading.

When in doubt remember Drinking does not make things better.
Never has. Never will.

Good luck and God Bless
