Focus on not drinking today. Repeat tomorrow. Don’t worry about forever. Be here, now. :heart:

Definitely one day at time. Sometimes one minute at a time. Cravings will pass
Just hold on tight, read a lot around here, post if you are craving and wait for a response before making and choices and learn you’re triggers. You can do this​:muscle::heart:

Welcome! I’m going on day 20, 1st time in decades! For me, NO alcohol in the home, you will drink it even if you tell yourself you won’t. I need to keep busy, anxious and boredom are triggers for me, but like @Miranda said Cravings will pass. I treat myself often, mainly food or snacks, helps with sugar cravings. Every hour you’re sober is a milestone. You came to the right place, you CAN do this.
