Hey November, welcome to SR! That addict voice likes to tell us that a few drinks or a few drugs are ok, but there is part of us that knows better. The first days are definitely the toughest, but hang in there. I imagine you can think of lots of reasons that you want to be sober, or at least lots of reasons why you don't want to be drunk! Being in control of my life now makes me feel so much better. I too am in early recovery (day 32), but I know the cravings lessen and I feel more in tune with myself.

Mariposa - I like how you broke down the serenity prayer, that is really thoughtful. I definitely say the prayer to myself in tough situations to try and remain calm. Great to have you sharing here!

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!
