Like many others, my date chose me. I had had enough, finally. BUT, I had tried to quit before and knew that the time between getting off work and going to bed was going to be my hardest battle. Especially on day 3 sober for some reason (well, I know the reason - that's when cravings hit me the worst). So, I made very detailed plans for every single moment of each evening. These plans included things that I would find enjoyable and look forward to, in addition to the drudgery stuff like doing the dishes. I thought about what I used to do with my evenings years ago, before they were taken up with drinking, and got back into some of those things. This is what worked for me, rather than choosing a date. Because, no matter what date I chose, day 3 would still come around.
