Great Job! And congrats on Day 7. That is very early days so yes, I agree that no temptations is the way to go.

My addictive behavior creates neuro pathways that hijack my dopamine receptors. Every time I drink, for whatever reason, I strengthen that behavioral response. But every time I don't drink when a stimulus arises, I create new neuro pathways and weaken old ones. So the more I choose not to drink, the weaker these behavioral habits become.....and the stronger new behaviors become.

Very cool.
