If you are still feeling anxious about the thought that you ***might*** drink this weekend, keep telling yourself, in a firm and unconditional way:

I will not drink this weekend

Instead of stopping at the booze store, stop at KFC or some other crappy food type place, and order more than you can normally eat. Then eat it all - eat until you are fuller than full.

You have now:
- Set yourself up psychologically to succeed (I WILL NOT DRINK) - refuse to entertain your psychological cravings
- Set yourself up physically to succeed (No way in heck I could drink after eating all that! Gag!)

Any time you get a psychological craving, strangle it with:

I WILL NOT DRINK THIS WEEKEND

Any time you have a physical craving:

EAT! To the point of stuffed!

Worked for me last weekend.
