The time has really flown! I don't want this thread to end! I've heard it takes about 28 days to form a new habit, break an old one (depending on its strength).
Yes, life - good days, bad days - can be handled and handled so much better without the drinks/drugs. It's truly a new lease on life.
I don't even think anymore of even wanting a drink. Can't think of anything much more positive than that.
Thanks to everybody on this thread for all the positive vibes!
