I'm trying not to think about the next four or five days in terms of drinking at all. I really just try and think of today and what I am going to do (or not do!)
If I think too many days in advance then I imagine too many hurdles. Then it becomes daunting. So I just don't do that.
Having said that I do think that this is different from having a plan. There are certain people, events and habits I have decided NOT to do over this Christmas - informed everyone - and left those plans/cancellations right there without any further thought. Now I can just concentrate on each 24 hours in isolation.
Regards,
JT
