Today I am not going to drink
 
I had a slip- but I think I've got it. After having so many good days under my belt I had just one.

But today I'm not going to drink :)

That's all I need to do.

Just for today.

You are hitting the nail right on the head PK.
I now understand what "One Day At A Time"
actually means.

I have said that for a long time and I have just kept doing it. It's not forever it is just today.

Just take it one day at a time :)

Sometimes it's one hour, or 5 minutes, but if you break it down, it usually becomes manageable. For me, feeling like I was making the choice not to drink but still having the option to say "maybe in the future" did the trick. I was always putting off when I would drink again-still do as a matter of fact.
"I'd love to drink at this party, but maybe next summer..." Whatever works.
