I'm gonna try and give the ol' liver a rest for the evening.
How do I keep from reaching for the bottle out of habit?

Yak,
What a GOOD question! I hope I am not too late.
Keep yourself busy, preferably outside of the house.
Visit a sober friend.
Go to the library.
Work second shift.
Drink water instead, but drink it out of your vice's container. For instance, I drink water out of a wine glass.
Workout for 1.5 - 2 hours. When you get back home, you will only want to drink water and then go to bed.
Not everyone who drinks everyday is an alcoholic or addict!

I think you need more than 1 evening to give the " your liver rest" , try & do a different routine than reaching for the bottle. First throw out all the bottles- if you don't see temptation you won't be tempted. How about cleaning out your garage that you have negected for so long since you drink so often? Even clean out your closets that you haven't paid attention to since you moved in to your house . How about doing volunteer work? You can do this & make it a lifestyle , drinking will lead to DUI's ,death, health problems- get with life & get a life. I know from your question you want to quit- go seek an AA meeting- Good Luck!

avoid it and all things associated with it tonight.
For the future, I highly reccomend admitting it is more powerful than you and surrenderring.
I needed to admit I had no power over cocaine before I could accept putting it down. I have been clean and sober 2.5 years now.
Oh ya, drink alot of water tonight!
God Bless and wish u the best, email me if u need a friend.

Don't do it. You'll just drink twice as much tomorrow.
I drink beer almost every day.
I didn't have any yesterday and I was too lazy to go to the store.
I was sober for about 40 hours.
I did get some tonight and drank two. So I guess I'm still sober.
Drink one beer per hour and you'll stay sober. That's my secret.

I think the best way to do this would be to keep yourself pre-occupied. Do something, and always keep busy.
some things you could do:
cook
watch t.v.
invite some friends over
play some video games
surf the net
just have fun i guess

drink 3- 2 liters of DIET COKE, it's a good beer substitute, and there won't be any room in your belly for more. Also eating alto, would do it, but ahhhhhhh the belly ache just thinking about it, ouch.................
if your desperate,,,, go visit someone who doesn't drink for dinner, that would kill a few hours.

i am sober almost every night ,sounds like you got a big problem ,and one night with out is not gonna fix it.
better go on a years holiday on a deserted island ,with out booze,
the only thing i can suggest that will work is knock yourself out with sleeping pils and sleep through the temptation.
