Good job sdi! It gets easier. Like someone else said... once you make the decision that you cannot drink, no matter what, it seems to take the wind out of the sails, at least for me it did. I made that decision, and the cravings reduced dramatically. Before, I had always said I was "taking a break" and couldn't wait to return to my drinking. Now, it doesn't seeem as challenging for some reason, once I admitted I was alcoholic.

Every alcoholic has a set of circumstances that challenge them and make quitting difficult, but if you can manage to quit while bartending just think how strong you will be and of everything else you can accomplish. Its a challenge, but one you can overcome. I am doing it and I know many, many others who have done it as well. You got this girl!!! Keep adjusting your plan as you need. Think about the times that cravings hit, why you are craving and what you can do to combat the craving.
