Starting out: Help for Staying Sober In The Face of Temptation

I'm new to the program.  Which one? SAA...but you name it, we all need help staying sober, right?  Sometimes we are busy, can't go to enough meetings during the week, and may feel too afraid to make a phone call.  And sometimes, we are already on the computer---feeling tempted to engage in acting out on our addiction.  Let this be a spot where anyone can go for encouraging words, and leaving comments, questions, and concerns.  Let this be a forum for learning, understanding, and NO judgements.
Please note, that just because you leave a question: doesn't mean the RIGHT answer will always be posted...asking a question here, is much like asking a question in a meeting: you're simply going to get someone elses opinion, unless a reference is sited.
Please don't  post specifics about names, cities, drug of choice, actions, etc... The moderator reserves the right to edit out details which may be triggers for other readers.

Today's message is simple: remind yourself that you have great reasons to stay sober, by making it through today, tomorrow will be easier...the rewards for doing what is right for yourself is far greater than any outward reward.
