> Someone in my meeting the other night said he could handle the first drink, it was the ones that followed that were the problem and someone said, "It's the first drink that gets us into trouble." I believe he was right. I've had it pounded into my head (and I believe it) to do whatever you have to do to stay away from that first drink (occupying your mind, fight through the urge, etc.), instead of the moderation model. I was failure at that too!

I have not taken that first (drink), now, for 7 years, 10 months, and 21 days.
