That was my first thought after buying the evening's supplies. I guess I will manage. But I need to write more on my plan. I also think I lost it today because I went to shop too early. I was shopping for everyday groceries, and went through the beer shelves. I had a hard time then, and it really made an impact. This is not easy...

I had my day 35 today. If I only slip for today, can I keep on counting, or do you start over again from day 1?
Don't slip. Who cares what the weather is. You have 35 days. Put on Frosty the Snowman and pretend it's Christmas. Just don't drink.
