Nothing to it really. Get over the first couple days it's down hill. Being sober is a sinch, being a full time drunk now that my friend is a bitch.

Thank you everyone!! I know it will get harder before it gets easier. I can usually go a few days sober then I get a day off and drink! I don’t want to do that anymore!!! I argue with myself all the way home then I end up getting beer.

Sure you can. Keep something on you that will remind you can't drink. If I get an urge pull it out. Change the route you drive if there is certain place you would stop. Set boundaries between you and others. Work on relapse prevention and go to AA meetings. As a rehab relapse prevention expert once said to me if you are notworking on your relapse prevention then you are working on you relapse. You got this!
