Don't go near it--don't have it around you--and whatever you do, don't drink that first sip.

You've made the first step. You're not alone. You're not alone. All of us have done it. If I can do it I know you can too. Keep busy. Drink lots of fluids. Take a short walk. Play with the pets. It will pass, I promise. B.

Coming here and admitting you need help was the first step. We are here to help you get and stay sober. Any time you feel like drinking, come here and post instead.

I hope the support here can help you stop drinking for good.

Don't worry about Friday, you only need to worry about TODAY, make it until bedtime without a drink and tomorrow you get another TODAY.

Looking too far ahead will only seem too difficult, and create anxiety, break things down into days, hours, half hours if you need to.

Hi Pinkandblack - welcome
you'll find a lot of support here

The best motivation tho, will come from within you, not from us - what are some of the reasons you want to stop drinking?

what are some of the reasons you want to stay sober?
