Hey Ready, I was where you are yesterday. It was cold and rainy in So Cal and I was just depressed and wanted to "shut down", crawl into bed, crack open a bottle of wine and let the day pass. That's my usual drinking habit, only I realized those days were coming more and more often and the amount of booze it took to "shut down" was becoming more and more.

I went to the chat room for the first time and got some instant feedback that talked me down off the ledge. Try doing that if the going gets tough. I, like you, have not had too hard of a time physically without drinking, I was more dependent psychologically. I still wonder how I'm going to handle future days when I wake up and just don't care. But since I stopped drinking 11 days ago, I see my life differently, I see myself differently and for the first time in a long time I'm liking what I see. And that's what I was reminded of yesterday, not to ruin the person I've become in those days. Good luck and Happy New Year!
