I'm half way through day 5 of no alcohol and I think I'm on the right track. I pray for strength from God to not drink today. I finally had a good night's sleep last night which helps tremendously. Breaking the rituals surrounding my drinking are hard to change. Every afternoon if I wasn't working meant I could start drinking as early as 3 pm not stopping until 10 or 11. Today I plan to go for a walk in the evening to keep myself busy and read some more of the big book. I pray that it works.

It’ll work you just need to work it. Just keep doing what you’re doing and it gets better. Keep praying for your strength. Ask for help when you need it don’t be afraid to. I wasn’t afraid to drink so I shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help. And I’m not afraid anymore. I will pray for you that your strength get stronger to fight that demon the alcohol. I know you’ll be OK just keep doing what you’re doing.Keep up the hard work.
Thank you Kelly. I was going to say you have no idea what means..but yes, you know.
Just a thought... I go to a late zoom meeting called AA After Hours. It helps me at night when I can't get to an in person meeting. 
Yvonne, keep up the good work! You are on the right path! And have the right attitude. As soon as I became a believer in power greater then myself my life changed. God is love! Have a blessed day filled love and peace within. Meditation is good to quite the mind.
Thank you Kevin. I appreciate your words. I haven't had a drink since Saturday night around 9 pm when I passed out. I am babysitting my beautiful, busy granddaughter today and working the weekend. I will keep praying, journaling, coming here to get encouragement so I have high hopes. Have a great weekend
