Something that helps me, when I get a bit of a craving at a bbq or something with others drinking, is I watch them have a beer, and maybe they have 1 more. Then they grab a coke or something. I realize, I wouldn't get a coke after the 2nd beer, I'd have 6 more if I were them and end up right back where I was 6 months ago. I play it out on my head. Also getting out of myself, realizing I don't have to be in control, things are going to happen the way they happen.

Yeah 6 months sober! That's so brilliant.
And thanks so much for the insight into one of your coping tools. I have a couple of functions coming up and I'll use this one.
Well done!

Well done Gardennerd.

I am almost 6 months, AA was the best choice I made. I am not doing the steps yet, but will do soon.
