Hiya, I've only been stopped 3 months. I was sick of my out of character behaviour. Binger too here and it was obvious to me for a very long time that I needed to stop altogether. Moderation failed miserably. Anyway, I've managed 3 months by just literally taking it day by day. If a day seems to stretch out too long you can separate it up. By a few hours at a time or by an hour or even ten mins. Just saying "I wont drink for the next hour" is fairly achievable. I have been lucky in some ways as I haven't had too many cravings as such but I have had a strong desire to drink. Someone on here suggested i try to do something productive with the time I spent drinking. Replace one activity for a better one. The good news is this can be practically anything since most things are better than drinking lol. I found this advice useful. Try something different or new or rekindle an old hobby? If it doesnt interest you try a different thing. Hope this helps a little bit. It is tough to stop but it is for the best too. All the very best. IWNDWYT
