Congratulations on your week, quitforme!
Like Dee said, it really does take time to get over the old feelings and thoughts. At first, it felt like I was going to have to resign myself to a mundane life with no rewards. Little by little, though, I started feeling more connected with life and more positive about myself. I found that I didn't need alcohol to dance or have fun at all - I just had to celebrate being me......
Of course, that would have sounded hollow (and totally unlikely) after 7 days sober, but that's what happened...... so don't let that AV rob you of your determination! You can do it!
