I am new here. 28 days without a drink. I know I will be fighting the urge to stop at the liquor store on my way home from work tonight but I will stay strong.

Takes about that many days to start new habits, routines and structure. Urges will happen, but they won’t kill you and you can work through them with other interests and hobbies

Hi Dina! Congrats on 28 days!! How about you make a plan for what you are going to do or drink when you get off work tonight? I used to “reward” myself after work too. Now I reward myself with a meeting, a favorite food, or even a flavored seltzer water. You can plan a walk, some exercise, a movie, cup of tea, call a friend…You get the idea lol. I’m glad you reached out. That means you are looking for help. I got a good feeling you are going to make the right choice tonight.

Plus, is it really just a drink? That sounds so nice! I don’t know about you, but when I think it all the way thru, that “just a drink” comes with horrible consequences

Oh, yes. If I buy a six pack I will drink a six pack. Not going to do it.
