It’s possible when you get to that place where you realize that sobriety equals freedom, and you never want to wear chains again.
Until you find yourself in that place, maybe focus on saying “no” to the drink that matters…the first drink, and leave forever for another day.

Thanks, folks. To be honest, I’m in a bit of a strange place. I played football (soccer) with some work colleagues this evening and then went to the pub afterwards. I drank water and didn’t think for one second about drinking a beer. In fact, I was looking at my friend’s beer and being disgusted at the thought of drinking it. The strange thing is that I still project forward and think about drinking in the future. I have a week of holiday from work starting tomorrow, which would usually signal 9 days of oblivion. That has been in my mind this week, but the idea of that first drink appals me.

I can understand having both of those feelings/ worries. For me, keeping my focus on being sober today helps me a lot. I do what I can today.
