Commit to not drinking today NO MATTER WHAT. just for today. takes all the oomph out of the thoughts and cravings. cuz it just ain't gonna happen. PERIOD.
don't just distract yourself, immerse yourself in some project or task that's been waiting to be done, or that will give you a sense of accomplishment.

Don't do it james, think how crap you'll feel in the morning - not just because you've drunk but because you will be so annoyed with yourself. I keep slipping and it's extremely frustrating. Make sure there is no booze in the house and distract yourself with dvds or game and some nice non alcoholic treats like chocolate! You can do this!!!

Play the tape forward. Think of how you'll feel AFTER the drink.
Think about the day or two or THREE after.
I use SR alot during the early days. It's only day 6 for me this time. But it's a great tool and i'm glad it's here.
