Great post. Someone was just posting about the voices in their head wanting to stop for beer on the drive home. I hope they find your advice.

Remember no one can make you drink only you can do that so it's a paramount to focus solely on protecting your sobriety

Stay away from triggers such as arguments, bad influences, so called friends & anything that might trigger you in the beginning early sobriety is hard enough

And lastly don't give up on yourself every day is a second chance
