Day 2
“Promises to ourselves will always
materialize if we work for them.”
-Alcoholics Anonymous
Today these are things that can make it easier:
- Plan your time so there are few moments or situations when you are bored.
- Buy a magazine or book to assist with those moments (how about Suduko?)
- Take a 20 minute walk.
- Make plans to be with other people that don’t drink as much.
- Drink lots of water.
- Eat an apple or two today if urges hit.
You may have already started some of these changes. If so, keep them up. If not, try to do something different. One of the main reasons to switch daily patterns is to keep your mind busy.
This is day two and it brings you closer to your goal. Don’t forget to reward yourself at the end of the day. Treat yourself well.

Binge drinking ups infection risk
Booze can lower the body’s natural defenses
Going on a drinking binge could leave you wide open to infections, as well as hangovers, work suggests.
Drinking copious amounts of alcohol in one session scuppers the immune system by knocking out proteins essential for fighting off bacteria and viruses
and alcohol’s effects continue long after the party is over.
College Men Unimpressed by Female Binge Drinkers
March 11, 2009
Some college women may drink excessively to gain the attention of men, but new research from Loyola Marymount University suggests that drunk women are not as attractive to men as women believe.
Science Daily reported March 11 that the majority (71 percent) of women surveyed overestimated — by an average of one-and-a-half drinks — the number of alcohol beverages men wanted their female friends, dates, or girlfriends to drink.
