Hi Jayhey, Welcome to the boards. That is great day 6. I think the best time is when you learn that even if you want a drink , you don't have to. I am only at 5 months and 22 days, but whos counting --HA! One thing that has helpped me is to understand that there are times that I will either think of drinking or want to drink. I was told to only try to control the things you can and turn the others over. My job now is to keep myself in safe places that I can't act on these thoughts. That is why it was important to my recovery, at least this early, I can't hang in bars or veterans clubs drinking coke. Most of us set our self up way before we drink. No matter what ******** reason I give, if I put myself around alcohol I want to drink and I'm setting myself up for the right excuse.
Please try and read the pit falls so you won't have to learn the hard way.
