The Big Plan was my recovery. I drank like a fish right to the moment I made my BP. After years of realizing I had to quit "someday" I finally reached a point where I felt like I'd rather die than keep on drinking the way I had been. Dead drunk I did a search for various recovery things and stumbled onto to SR. Somehow that lead me to AVRT. With nothing to lose I decided I would drink everything I had in the house that night but that would be it- never again!
Well, I had four bottles of wine on hand! Drank them all in one shot. Yeah, I was profoundly drunk, so hungover the next day I thought I might keel over dead. But I made my Big Plan, and I haven't had a sip since. That was almost 16 months ago.
