Michael,

Thanks for coming here. Trust that little voice inside you that is telling you you might have a problem. You are doing well, just like I did when I quit, but in a few days that voice will pop up and say, "Look at how easy you quit! Let's celebrate with another Captain Morgan's!"

Try to commit to some real period of sobriety. I've committed to a year, and am taking that year to work on the problems I've been stuffing down while drinking. Some AA meetings here and there, a lot of SR message boards, some self-help books, lots of deep conversations with my husband, and reconnecting with old friends. I am just about 40 days in, and feel great. I feel so good, I may never drink again. We'll see.

And I understand you on the career thing. We've all got job worries, for sure.

Best,
PL
