Morning Mitchell! No matter how much time you have, I know it’s tough when the urge hits hard. However what you need to remember is that picking up that first drink is the start of a path you’ve already decided you don’t want to go down. Reaching out on here is a huge step but maybe hit a meeting or like Mitch suggested, call someone in the program to talk it through. You’re stronger than the urge! Break it down from one day at a time to one moment at a time! Stay strong!

Play the tape forward and think about what will happen AFTER the first drink! Call someone or do anything else (take a walk, read, listen to music or a podcast) just don't take that first drink!

Distract your mind bc right now there’s a hard game of tug of war going on, to drink or not to drink. To do what you want to do vs doing what you should do. We’re going to have days like this. I was in one not too long ago and it sucks but I pulled through like I hope you do. It’s just not worth it. I wish you the best. Stay strong for You.
