Day SIX! I'm going to a meeting this morning. I was talking with my wife last night, and she was saying that now that I don't drink I can improve my diet, get some hobbies, help with the garden, lose some weight, etc., etc. While all of this is true in the long run, I had to say that I can only concentrate for now on not drinking, one day at a time. She is well-intended, of course, but as a non-alcoholic, doesn't understand that six days is just the barest of beginnings, not a time of "mission accomplished." I felt a little guilty resisting all her hopeful ideas, and I agree with her in the long run, but all I can do for today at least is not drink. She's not angry and says she understands, and I hope that's true. I hope I handled this right.
