Pelagic, just focus on your first sentence. If we want to be sober more than we want to drink, then the little obstacles and temptations are easier. I think you have lots of competition in being "worst case scenario"!
Do you have a plan at all? Even if it just covers what you will do when your mind says 'it's OK to have a drink', or worse, your mind says 'you need a drink'. I had one, but I wasn't in a position to use my plan, so now I have to work on a better plan for when my support systems are not available.

I really want to do this too and will most definitely call on SR support to make it happen. Together we can do it so much easier than doing it alone.
