Hello,

Today I just hit my 4 week mark (28 days!). While that may seem an eternity to you, it's not. Just keep busy. For me, I've taken more walks in the last four weeks (not past the 7-11 though) than in the past 4 years. Try not to dwell on "not drinking", as thinking about not doing something can take as much energy as doing it. If you can, try to find new rhythms in life. For me, the first week was the worst as my body re-adjusted to not having alcohol numb it down. I had headaches and couldn't sleep well. But now I can dream again (both literally and figuratively)!!

You can do it, just keep looking to a brighter and better future.

Good luck and health to you.
