Welcome to anyone counting days... Here are some practical tips that helped me at the beginning... - Don’t have the first drink (it's the first one that does the damage) - Decide not to drink just for today, tomorrow you might but not today - A craving will pass after about 15 minutes, do something else for that long - Keep candies or chocolate handy to help you through cravings - If you’re thinking about drinking – call someone or post here, before having a drink! - The more you don’t want to share what you're going through – the more you do need to talk - Take extra care when hungry, angry, lonely or tired – eat, vent, make a call, take a rest Easy does it, you can’t solve your whole life’s problems today But if you don’t drink for today, at least alcohol won’t be one of them Best of luck, Sian

Welcome Gordo!

That first step that you have taken is a big one: the self awareness of recognizing that there is a problem. Coming on here and posting is an excellent way to get started. I have found using this web site and others provide lots of information and inspiration to continue the journey.

The very best of luck as you set out! I will look forward to hearing about your progress.

been drinking almost daily for 40 years. Today, well today I am going to try real hard not to drink. If I succeed then tomorrow will be day two. What's that old adage. A long journey starts with the first step?

wish me luck
