Hi All,

I am on day 5 and mad at my last slip, I want to make a promise to myself and the world that I will not drink for the next 30 days no matter what.If I cant do this I swear its rehab.Lets see.

Hey Jhonny - you can do it!

But first you have to make it to Day 6. The key here is not to give yourself lofty goals. If you're in a relationship, you don't say: "I will marry this woman in 3 months" - that's a lot of pressure! Instead, we say "I like this, I'm going to be faithful and loving and today".

Do what you can today. Go to bed sober - you win. Do it again the next day. Focus on today, the success will be there if you keep doing that day-in-day-out.

Well said Bigsombrero

Go for it Johnny plan to win!

No need to promise to the world soooo much peer pressure that you don't need.

Thanks for the reply but my stubbornness is my refusal and If I promise something, I am so stubborn I will not give in, so its get to 30 days or I am of to rehab.

Don't worry about that.

Just make it to day #6.

If you get there, try to make it to day #7.

30 days is my next short term goal too. My first goal was breaking my old record, and I did that yesterday. On day 19 now. 30 seems incredibly in reach.

Of course I take it one day at a time, like the others are suggesting. But I understand the purpose of short term goals.

We're here to encourage you, jhonny. Life will be so much better without it.

I have faith you can not only do that but go on from there Jhonny
