Do you have someone close enough to you that knows about your situation, that understands, and can hold onto the money for you and distribute it or even shop for you? Can someone stay with you too maybe?? Just an idea.

Remember to think positive thoughts. Remember how awful drinking made you feel and remember all the problems it caused. Remember how awful you felt when you woke up the next day and how that whole day was ruined with nauseau and headaches and everything else. You don't want to go back there so remember how healthy this is. Remember that its the right decision for you, your health, your marriage, your family, and anything else that you can think of that was affected by your drinking. Remember you are making the RIGHT choice by not drinking.
Keep yourself busy today. Work in your garden, read a book, go for a walk and get some exercise. Catch up on your television shows. Call a friend and go out for coffee or to the theater or something fun!. Keep yourself busy and distracted.

If you need help go to an AA meeting or call an alcoholic support hotline. There's plenty in the US so I'm sure the UK has similar hotlines. And of course, we're always here.
