Thank you all so much for your support. I'd never say that AA isn't for me. I'm going to see what I can do this first week and possibly try AA if it continues to be a struggle. That probably sounds lame...of course it will be a struggle!
Thanks again for your replies. It's so nice to know that I'm not alone. And I like the idea of sipping gatorade or another soft drink out of a different glass. Sometimes I do think it's like a routine just to have the glass full, so I'll definitely try that.
I need to keep reminding myself of the good this will do for my health and relationships. No more hangovers at work. No more arguments with my husband that I can't remember the next day. No more constant dehydration. No more (or at least less) empty calories! And probably so many other health reasons I'm not aware of.
Thanks again.
