Well, after only 2 days (had drinks both days), I can tell that intentions are one thing and actions another. And that goals...well, may be too lofty sometimes, especially at the beginning when I'm desperate and excited to change? My rewards were playing/walking the dog and reading a book - but I think now these might be more strategies (what to do instead of drinking). The toolbox talks a lot about goals, how they are different for everyone, how they might change over time. I'm already wondering if I should make my short-term goals more realistic - like a certain number of drinks (2, and DONT move on to 3, 4..e.i. don't get wasted), and don't ever drink while working on the job. Would that still be progress or am I making excuses already!?
