5. If you want to stop drinking, stop drinking for today.

When tomorrow comes, do that again, stop drinking for that one day. Do that one simple act 31 times during the month of January and you will have been sober for a month.

If you stop drinking on the first of January for the month of January, and you are an alcoholic, there is almost no chance whatever that you will stay sober for the month.
