Take a longer route home from work, dont stop at the many local places you tend to stop on the way home from work, where they dont know your name, but know your drink of choice(s). Stay away from the room, where your alcohol is hidden...not one sip, because even though your body and mind want it, it will start the whole thing over again. Take two asprin, it will help ease the withdrawl. Your going to be cranky and irritable, and probably short with everyone you love. Stop and remind your wife how beautiful she looks today. Go outside. Sit on your porch or take a drive, again away from the local places and that room. Call some of your old buddies...sit here online and respond to these people who so desperately understand...were here, and we too need you, as much as you need us.....keep telling your self, not one sip today...one day at a time...day three here not by choice, but its still day three....another day closer to being free.
