Do you really think you can 'outsmart' your vice? I'd start with "1 day at a time" and go from there. Are you doing anything besides just not drinking? I could get smashed tonight and not drink tomorrow,but there's no point and no gain for me. I don't drink anymore. I had to work for my mental state/sobriety. It's very rare someone posts here if they can just stop and be content(not white knuckling).
