I couldn't tell you how many times I've woken up, pledged I'd quit - and be drinking after work that very same night. Granted sobriety and quitting for good is your end game perhaps you could benefit from some smaller goals first. I will not drink TODAY. I will not drink this WEEK. Recognize your "witching hour". Mine was between 5-7pm nightly. I will not drink this HOUR! I will not drink in the next 30 minutes. Just keep adjusting as needed. Once I got to 8 or 9pm well- bedtime time is coming - so maybe I should go to bed. Know it's going to suck - maybe that helps accepting the sucky part better. You know what it's like to get to two months- how the morning of getting up hangover free is so much better than the drunk the night before. You can do this!
