There is such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophesy. You need to combat the negative thoughts of "This has always happened before, so it's going to happen again."

It only happens if you surrender to the fear and the obsession to drink. Like others have said, have a plan to stay occupied. Also, beware of the "triggers" you mentioned in a previous post. Come the end of the day, don't let anger and anxiety be the "Reason" you need to drink. Day five is just like day four. You can do this.
