I didn't make an actual list but I do reread my own posts on here sometimes so I guess those are a kind of list.
I drank so much and for so long that the list was tattooed in my brain. I was past the point of reaching into my pocket and reading for reminders. My life was a nightmare when I stopped.
That said though, the Christmas holiday time was hard and I did have to read back to why I stopped and why I couldn't be one of those people that drinks once a year. No way.
I think a list is a great idea though.
(One other reason I didn't need a list this time was because I felt physically off for months so I didn't have a pink cloud or "feeling great" moment where I thought...."Well I feel good again so I feel like drinking." Even at three months I still woke up feeling hungover on some days. It felt like I had a three-six month hangover so the reminder was always right there in my face! However, the PAWS hangover was about 90% better than an actual hangover.
