Let tomorrow take care of itself. Well done for not going today. I am on day 10 today, and a couple of times I've felt like going to the shop but the thought of day 1 again keeps me from doing it, and the fact that my exercise resolve would be severly impacted if I did!

As people say, find something else to do, I sometimes think of it as a short sharp storm that will pass, we just need to weather it out.

Well done on day 8 Chop. Have you read the 'Toolbox' thread? Essential reading again and again. Hang in there. Keep going, and you'll soon come out of the fog!

Good for you Chopper! A good friend of mine says this:

If I don't drink or use today, I have a shot at tomorrow. If I drink or use today, I may not have a shot at tomorrow.

Words to live by for me.

There are many voices to listen to.

Listen to the wise folks here, chopper.

You'll get to the point of wanting the better feeling every day .... over that fleeting desire for momentary nothingness.

Best of luck. And even better thoughts. You can do it.
