1 Day Down!
I have successfully avoided the bottle all day yesterday. I'm still a little shaky from my weekend binge, but overall I feel great this morning. Thanks to everyone for your support and stories yesterday helping me out. I am proud of myself today...

That's the spirit, Zad!
One day at a time!
Day 2 for me also. Still quite fragile but I'm here
and feeling much more positive, having got through
a hell of a day. I don't know about everyone, but I'm
similar to some, in the sense that recovery gets easier
every day. In that regard, the ease increases as I just
come to realize that I needn't live as a slave, chained
to alcohol - the way it makes me feel while I'm hooked.
Onwards and upwards my friend, towards living life once more!

This forum has been really helpful being able to keep in touch with my fellow addicts working on recovery. If I continue to feel this great I don't know how I could ever go back. Oh and I actually slept really sound last night. I've had alcohol induced insomnia for so long. Today is a new day.

Zad, if I understand correctly, that's a great idea.
You know, this might sound ridiculous to some,
but I've never been able to identify what triggers me to drink.
It always seems as though it's a random thought/notion.
I know that's different to the end of a working week...
but! This may sound a bit, I dunno... What helps me, as well as SR,
is when I start my recoveries, I start by making a kind of pocket
calender. Weekends, I jot down plans for things I'm going to do.
Mostly these things include family and loved ones and I weigh their
value. It never fails (for me), only when I stop making plans, I fail.
Positive planning is a fantastic way to help yourself. Bravo!

The calendar is a good tip. The only bad thing is all my friends and family drink.
