I used this approach, but followed no particular recovery school.

had to back up and do this again tomorrow.
I knew, viscerally, that if I opened 'the door 'again I'd be a goner....
but I still had no faith in myself to do the right thing in the beginning - that came later - until it did, breaking forever up into 24 hour blocks seemed more palatable (and more achievable) for me
I guess it worked...for me lol.
