Lisa, sorry your day wasn't so great. Hang in there and fight the good fight.

Emme, start tomorrow by not drinking. Seriously. If you've got it in the home, pour it out. It's a good idea to rework your plan, seeing as it isn't producing desired results, but doing that tomorrow when you say you'll be drinking doesn't seem like a great idea to me. And throwing in the towel certainly doesn't! Listen, you can do this. We can do this.

Take a stand, tomorrow, for tomorrow only, that you won't drink tomorrow. Use that sober time to retool your plan, and start reaching out to the resources in your community and online, including here, that are in place to help us. You are not alone in this fight. You can win it, with help. But wars aren't won by surrenders, to tweak a bon mot from Churchill.

Stand your ground. We're here with you, shoulder-to-shoulder. One day at a time, and if need be, one moment at a time.
