I have struggled the past two out of three days but didn't drink. It can be done. I went to meetings and talked to people about what I was feeling. What are you doing for yourself besides working out and minding your diet? There will be some days that you cannot exercise or eat right. What then? I know if I cut myself slack and were to say that I can only drink one day a month it won't only be one drink and it certainly would extend beyond one day. If you have to allow yourself to relax from your regimen I vote eating the comfort food hands down over the booze. You might have a tummy ache when you wake up but you will remember eating the food the night before.
