Odd thing came to mind when you said ''mini bottles''. . .
Hang In There, MMH!!

Oh Wait!! Need an Impromptu research paper to help your presentation??
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH PAPER WEBSITE IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. AT ALL.

Here's just one lovely example;
Symbiotic, Knowledge-Based Theory for Cache Coherence
Take a few moments to either read the one I just made, or create one for yourself. Almost guaranteed to be Pulitzer Prize winning, hysterically funny.

I'm wishing you courage as you continue down the right path. I'm on day 4, and I've been having a rough night too. I've been reminding myself of the promise I made to myself this morning "I will not drink today". I hope you feel better, and have a good sleep. Roadie is a wonderful friend for helping you, and everyone here is rooting for you!!!

Good Morning MMH, hope you slept well last night. Here's a brand new 24 hours, with no hangover to contend with! Hope your work deal goes well today. Stop by to chat again if you'd like to check in. I've found that calling other AAers helps me to be reponsible to myself.
I enjoyed our chat last night. Hope it wasn't to preachy.

Hi MMH....
So glad you made it through the night without drinking. I'm glad Roadie was here for you.
I understand your pain.... all of us alcoholics do. It's really hard in the beginning. Sometimes just making it to the next minute without a drink is an overwhelming task.
I didn't recognize that I was an alcoholic either, until a couple of years ago when I decided to do some serious studying. It really came as a shock. Before I knew it, I had to admit that I wasn't just a "problem drinker", but an alcoholic. I may have been one all my life, starting in the womb; I'm not sure. I couldn't understand why I couldn't just be like "normal" people, and take it or leave it. I'm still pretty bitter about it. I'm just ten days sans alcohol now, after many attempts at quitting.
Just know that it does get easier. It's important to arm yourself with knowledge and support. Be good to yourself, and treat yourself special, because you are.
Best wishes and hugs to you....
