have a large drink of milk or water around your usual drinking time and then you can relax...your craving will pass and you will wake up tomorrow knowing that you didn't drink for 11 out of the last 12 days Better still, you won't have a hangover. Your body will have had another 24 hours of recovery from alcohol. You can do it!

Hey somebodymusic, you're doing good. You went to the liquor store, then rang a support line instead. That's strong. You can do it, you really can.

And your cat is there to be hugged.

Stop beating yourself up.
You have done 10 days and I am proud that you did that. No-one can take that away from you.

Your in a hard spot with your job.
I understand the loneliness aspect, I really do.

Drinking will just make everything feel worse the next day.
It may make you feel better for an couple of hours on an evening so you can watch mindless rubbish on the TV or listen to music, but the next day, at least for me, the feelings are magnified.

Wh not use this time to examine your low self esteem, if thats the reason you drink. Books, internet courses?
However, from the sounds of your job I think you must be doing lots well and are highly though of.

What about doing some volunteer marketing work for a charity?
It would build your portfolio and you can feel like your contributing.
Lots of charities might jump at some free marketing advice.

But mainly, please try and be with others who love you and can take care of you.
Try not to be alone.
I will be thinking of you.
