You can make it through this, just the fact that you decided that hey maybe I should do something about these thoughts before they get too strong and all consuming shows that you have the ability to stay sober!

Keeping a list of all my reasons to stay sober has been helpful for me. I also found counseling with a substance abuse counselor has helped me keep things in perspective, keep myself in check, and helped provide me with tools to beat my cravings.

If nothing else, reminding yourself that your liver is still not healed and drinking now will put you back to square one or maybe make it even worse then it was before. Sometimes we need a concrete reason to push us through the hard moments, and health reasons can be a good little push to keep on us on track.
