Sunflowerlife, know this. If you drink, you will feel like a failure. If you resist this urge, you will feel like a success. It is that simple. And, each time you beat back the urge to drink, you will get a little stronger, you will feel a little better, and your life will improve.
As you experience these urges, remember HALT. Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. If you are feeling any of these emotions, deal with them first. One or more of these conditions will make it harder to resist the urge to drink.
Thank you for posting. I hope you will let us know how you do today.....
