Putting it behind you.

Hm. Just work on today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Make a plan. Stay busy. Have a few sentences to repeat whenever you feel stress and want to drink.

For me, it was the Serenity Prayer. I went to meetings every day for the first four months. The tool that was the most helpful to me was the Serenity Prayer. It really covers everything. The good part about meetings is they say it (I said it) twice in every meeting - and a lot of the shares centered around the concept, too. I'm glad I went to those meetings. You may like it!

I was told I could not wear out the Serenity Prayer. Thank God. I use it a lot, still Sometimes I'll say it four or five times in a row if my crazy brain is doing backloops.
