3rd rock do not drink for 24 hours. Wake up sober the next day. If you can stay sober 1 day you can stay sober for 2 days. Try not to think too far ahead. ODAAT
Home detox is an option. Notify emergency dispatch the first sign of trouble.

That must have been a year or over now but I have creeped up in usage again.. Now I am slowly cutting back and adding sober days by myself and looking forward to being sober again. I think it’s time to accept no amount of alcohol will do me any good.

Only people without alcohol issues can moderate. The "self-critic" makes you think alcohol use is good ALL the time. Fight the thoughts that make you think drinking is an option because people like you and I can not drink never again period. We lost the option to drink. Now choose the opportunity of sobriety.
