Charlotte, it's pretty groovy that you got through the weekend; I remember you anticipating a hassle over it in one form or another.
Is the style of that book OK for you, as far as how alcohol is perceived? I used to feel discomfort early on when reading here, but then it went away for the most part, and the "romanticism" for it wasn't there. (Romanticism isn't the word I want, but what I can do? It's all I've got right now, ha ha.)
Did anyone at all get on your case about not drinking while you were there?
I think you're doing great. The days will inch by a little bit more during the first month perhaps, but then they will start to fly by, just like life normally does.
