Can't believe I'm the first to post!! Today is Day 4 for me. Unbelievable!! I feel pretty much the same as drinking, except more clear of mind. I'm still pretty tired though! I worry that it's not more painful--I feel like I should be suffering a little more. Actually, maybe I will be suffering more, now that it is the weekend...:upset: first big test!
I do miss it, because my first thought when I'm finished working is having a drink, and then I realize that I can't. I feel bummed out briefly, but then I get on with it. I feel like I need to keep what I am doing a little more front and center than I have been--start doing the CD's again, etc.
Next week, I am going to a conference with two friends. Fortunately, they have a "take it or leave it" attitude about drinking. I am going to tell them both I am alcohol free, and I'm sure that they will be happy to not drink around me. I'll bring the CD's and if they do want to go off and have a drink, I'll stay in the room and listen to them. Good, thinking out loud here is helping me to lay a game plan. Thanks, everyone!
Anyway, I'm off to feed the kitties and then get ready for work.
Have a good day, everyone.
Hugs,
