It gets so much easier - but only if you don't pick up that first drink.

One day at a time.

Great job, Julie. I love the chained-up monster analogy, too. It makes so much sense. No matter how loudly it howls and rattles its cage and tries to convince you otherwise, YOU are the one in control. You're the only one with the food All you have to do is not go down there and feed the thing. It'll keep getting weaker if you stay away. And you'll keep getting stronger. Keep it going!

Check HALT or HALTS, on AA or the interweb.
I found it both interesting and helpful and made me very aware which really helps.
