Petrea36 ---- that's how a lot of us were for ages. For that next day you really need to find something to substitute the wine or whatever. I've been sucessful with cranberry juice & soda in my wineglass, or diet tonic and lots of lime and ice. At the beginning, I could do that and get part way through the night and then caved in, but after a few false starts I started to get past that too ... try and do something different in the evening from your regular routine ..... go for a walk, go to bed early and read, chat on this site, etc. After a few good tries at it, it becomes easier bit by bit ... baby steps as they say. I'm only on day 4 (again), but a couple of months ago I could never have gotten this far.
