Today has been really difficult and it's only day 3. I have managed to talk myself out of going to get beer, it does scare me how it controls you. So far I've stayed sober it's going to be a long battle.Hope you all stay strong

Swordfish,
use all the resources you can access; there are many.
other than SR, what are your "real life" options? any sober folks around you could connect with?

Fini is right. This is hard! Keep going and use all the available resources available.

Stay strong. Just get through today.

No lovely, it's a short battle - just 24 hours - or until bedtime.
Then tomorrow you get up and face the next 24, but you'll feel stronger, because you resisted the day before.
Don't think further than the day ahead.
Baby steps.

Just like other folks said. All you have to be concerned about is today get thru today. You can do it ✌

Hey, I have faith in you!!! Just keep your mind busy. Blast some rock music and do pushups until your arms feel like they are going to fall off.... Exercise puts the focus on positive stuff instead of the sauce

Day 3 is famous for being a stinker - I always found days 3-5 felt like I had the flu, but hang in there, it gets better. By day 5 the worst is over and you never have to go through this again

I got through yesterday, today has been better. Your right 24 hours at a time.
Thanks great supportive site. Onwards and upwards
