Hey sameer, you don't have to drink TODAY, it's a new day to be sober, nothing is pre determined for the next 24hrs, YOU get to make the decisions and choices as to how the day will pan out!!
You can do this!!

Sorry you feel this way. But I don't think you are a monkey.
You have the same addiction then I do. For us there will always be something to justify our drinking until we realize most of our said problems are only made worst by picking up a drink.
Not a single time I have failed that anything in my life improved. But when I am sober things do get better. But not quick enough for me. That's the Alcoholic impatient, I want it now.
But for me 20 years won't be fixed in 20 months.
Hang in there and try to move forward. Can you add something to your recovery? Take care

I have been beating myself up really good this weekend. I last drank on Friday and have been sober yesterday and Today, so I guess i'm on day 2.
I am started to accept the slip's as a learning lesson and trying to move forward and just look ahead to midnight and then start another 24 tomorrow.
