First of all, Theresa, I'm really proud of you. 13 days, and now 6. That is absolutely huge.
It's perfectly normal to grieve this - I felt like I was losing a big chunk of myself when I gave up the booze - the sense of ease and comfort it gave me around other people - and it was a way for me to fit in with my family. But now that it's out of my life, I see what it's like to have meaningful relationships with my family, without the blur of the booze. That booze feels like a friend - but it's not - it's what brought you to your knees, and brought you here. Stay strong Theresa, it does get better, I promise.
