Thanks Jfanagle. That makes sense. Maybe it seems like I'm hyperaware of everything right now. It doesn't help that I'm on-call 24/7, and the phone is constantly ringing. Also, my doctor left a message on my cell, reminding me of my important appt in the am. Geez. I've read almost all the threads here in the last year, and I'm wondering if staying sober gets easier as time goes on. I know I'm really a newbie, and I have a very long way to go.
