I think it's very hard to be a non drinker in a drinkers-shaped hole, Sunset.
I had to change my life, inside and out....and that took more than 23 days.
I drank for 20 years...it took time to readjust to the new me and the new life.
There were times I could see no progress either - but the correct response is to keep going, have faith and keep moving forward, not to give in to the inner voice that says 'one night won't hurt'.
It will - and we both know that.
Stay the course - many of us have - it gets better
we wouldn't lie LOL
