well, I"ve started over 3 times since March. I"m a newbie. Temptation is always there and last night , I was organizing my late sister's photos... um.. well,, had to stop,, wanted to drink.. but I held off.. I'm hoping all this gets easier. There is so much temptation with all the new alcohols being.advertised on TV, and with the emotional stuff I"m going thru. It is a battle now,, but ,, I will win.....

Remember you only do this one day at a time and half of that time you are sleeping. Just take it one minute at a time is need be. I have been there myself and know how difficult it can be. I had the compultion the first two years of my sobriety and didn't think I could make it, but I did. I will soon be celebrating 27 yrs. of continuous sobriety. How did I do it? One Day at a Time. Hang in there, you got it.
