1 day x 14
2 weeks ago, I decided I was not going to drink for that day. I had a plan, and I followed through. Just for the day.
I've repeated it 13 more times.
This is how I'm doing it. Not thinking about forever, next year, or even the upcoming holidays. Just thinking about today. And today, I'm not going to drink.
My prayers for everyone on this board, that you may find peace and strength today. Thanks, all.

Thank you for sharing your success.
I have found that I can wake up full of good intentions to stay sober, and then something happens with my reaction to life, and I return to old ways of coping such as getting drunk.
This is what I believe is the root of my problem.
My reaction to life.
I like your prayer for peace today and strength today. Thank you.
I like also, an AA member, Sandy B. where on one of his recorded talks, he says one goal is to "remain undisturbed".
My experience has been that alcohol and drinking is the symptom to deeper problems in myself.
How I think, how I cope, how I react to life.
I pick up a drink sober. I commit the most insane act sober.
This is when I am in danger...when I am sober!
All I need is the unrest, the anger, the resentments, the self pity, and I am doomed to need something to change the way I feel.
or...on the other hand...
to forget that when I drink, bad things happen. I can easily forget this, or even "knowing" it about myself, think it would be different.
