Welcome... you can do it

Welcome GraySkies... you found this place much like I did, and you're right - there is a lot of support here. As I'm only a few days ahead of you, I can't really give an great revelation of advice, other than to say each day you will feel physically better. I'm getting through it on pure mental willpower and trying to distract myself with anything I can. (instead of doing one load of laudry per week, I've been doing multiple small loads each day - as an example). Go wash your car... backup your computer... browse in a music or book store... Anything to take up time. (on a related note, the book "Sober for Life" by Ann Fletcher is very good - I can't put it down)

Anyway, welcome to SR and congratulations for taking the big leap towards sobriety - I do believe THAT is the hardest part.
