How I did it: I took it one day at a time....
Everyday was a new day... everyday was a day that i was not going to take a drink.
When i felt weak, i would log on here and talk to my friends... i would read their posts and it made me feel better knowing that there were so many people like me.

I had so many questions along the way and everyone here had an answer or a similar experience.

Joining this site was the best thing i ever did for myself.

It has made me a better person, a better friend, a better girlfriend, better daughter and most of all, i know who i am again.

Lessons & tips: The best tip that i can provide is no matter how hard it gets, you always have tomorrow.
If you feel that crazy monster telling you, "you'll feel better once you have a drink..."  DON'T LISTEN. 
Log on here and talk about what you feel and what is making you crave that alcohol.

Learn to listen to yourself.

Resources: this site. 
without this place to come and vent out everything i needed to vent out, i don't think i would have been able to succeed.
