There's much research about how amazing your body is and how it can heal itself. I get the "alcoholic voice" telling me to go out there and do the familiar..... I hate the shame the next day. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm on day 22. I'm new to this. I feel you. I don't want to sound corny, but it really is one day at a time. Not tomorrow, definitely not yesterday. Just don't drink today. I tell myself I'll have one tomorrow....and when/if tomorrow comes I say I'll do it tomorrow.... That works for me. I have fear of the long term commitment so I don't think about it long term.

I go to AA. I wanted to drink last Saturday, so I went to a meeting instead. They are super supportive. There are so many others with our disease. On this site and out there.

You can do this. Screw yesterday. Here's to your today and the the fact you shared this means you do care about your health and yourself. Just know I'm fighting with you. That voice can go f**k itself.
