Take sobriety, recovery and life one day at a time.It really works and is the solid foundation to many of those who have long-term contented sobriety.

It is true isn't it? I shy away from deprivation models. Every morning I remind myself that in this world we live in, awash in alcohol, I can drink whenever I want. I'm just not going to drink today. I know that is playing little word games with myself but it is one of the tools I use.

Agreed.
Think of it this way - how many push ups can you do the first time you workout vs one month later? Then compare that to a year?

Just don’t drink today and you’ll never drink again.

The most important thing for me is not to pick up the first drink today. Once I do that, everything else will fall into place.
