Fell off wagon yesterday, got back on this morning

Fuckall...

It was a shitty day but I have to force myself to cope with craptastic days other than a bottle

Do I literally need to tattoo this to my left hand?

Do whatever you need to do...first drink avoidance is the key.

Use the phone, get to a meeting, the gym, whatever....but do ALL that before you drink/use.

Taverner , I have had a crappy year or so..very bad. If I focus on today, it is possible. When I focus on the past, the anger, hate, fear, and sadness return. No matter what..today is all that I have.....good luck for today.

Many options exist and it really helps to not do this alone. One day at a time.
