Vinnie

Day 6 is rarely any good. It's your body's way of telling you that you've been less than nice to it.

So it's giving you something to remember. Use it. Remember it. Perhaps write down what you are going through and why you don't want to repeat it-ever.

Then, when you have 30 days and you've been feeling good and the little voice in your head says" Vinnie, maybe you're NOT an alcoholic. Maybe we can go out and have a few...", READ what you wrote.

The toughest days for me (6 weeks) are not the bad ones, but the GOOD ones. They can be TOO good. They can lull me into thinking that all is well. That a "normal" Warren lurks within, waiting to get out. Now that is dangerous thinking.

Most people, it seems, need to go through day 6 more than once. Try to be an exception. Keep it in your pocket and pull it out down the road. It can be the answer to that little voice in the head. "Thanks, but I think I'll pass on that..."

Keep it up the good days are fast approaching!
