I agree with lostdoll about going to AA or NA. I've been sober in AA for 13 years. It isn't easy but it helps.

You might consider getting rid of anything that you can that has alcohol in it. I get cough syrup that doesn't have alcohol. I gargle with warm salt water. That way i don't get the taste or anything again.

Distractions are awesome. I do a lot of crocheting and embroidery and every stitch I make is another moment away from the alcohol.

Hope this helps.

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
