I guess bring sober to begin with qualifies me for participation in Dry January. Alcohol is about as useful as tits on a boar or a mattress with hinges on it.

What helped me in those early days was keeping busy and using my hands. Would you like paint by number or diamond painting?

Congrats on day 4. In it to win it
