Welcome globerover!  

You will find a lot of support on this site, glad you are here.  All of our journeys have begun with Day One, find things to do today and tonight and you will find yourself looking to Day Two!  For me, just the thought of not drinking that night was worse than the actual hours that I would have spent not drinking.  The whole day was spent thinking how awful and hard it would be that night without alcohol.  

Stay determined today.  When that "time" of the afternoon/evening approaches for that typical first drink remember the reason(s) that brought you here.  You can get through this day!  Good luck!

Hi, I truly appreciate this tool because I have been drinking way too much for quite some time on a daily basis.  For the past 2 years, I've been going through a break-up and my ex finally moved out of the home we still own jointly on December 7.  I found alcohol to be effective in managing the emotional pain and fears of what I was going through but then I realized I was drinking a bottle of wine every night.  It's not easy to give up this crutch but today I've decided not to buy any more wine and not to drink.  Eleven more hours to get through until bedtime.  I'm determined!
