Short goals is a good place to start. All of us with lomng term sobriety started with one day. At first it may even have been one hour, but we hung on. The next thing was to get started on a program of recovery, becaue just hanging on one day at a time was not sustainable in the long term.
In recovery we discover that we can only live one day (today) at a time, and it is what we do today that will determine what our tomorrows will be like.
So a short goal, like don't drink just for today is a good place to strt, provided that we also reach out for help.
