Quitting for good

It's day two for me. I was so hung over and sick yesterday it wasn't a big deal not to drink but today, now that I'm feeling okay again, the temptation to drink is creeping in. That little voice saying, 'let's just have a couple of beers'. The problem it's never just a couple. It always spirals and soon I am binging every day. A small drop of alcohol hits my system and then I can't stop. I tried moderation and only drinking with friends/family but it never works. I have no control once I've started drinking. The only control I can have is not to start in the first place. Right now it's fragile but from reading others posts I know that it can grow stronger and I can do this.

I'm going to keep one step ahead of it. Going to the gym later, which really helps me not want to drink. Also meeting a friend I can talk about it with.
