Right at about two weeks, I almost drank, but decided to wait 'til the next day. I am now almost eight weeks in and very glad I didn't drink then. But it's only now that it seems my physical strength is getting back to normal. The sleep patterns are still off, but getting a little better.
I went out for a bike ride today and made it to the top of a local peak. There were a few other people there who'd arrived in cars and I was sharing the view with them. One guy walked by me and said "you rode up here?!". I allowed that I had and he said "I couldn't do that." Coincidentally he was bringing an empty champagne bottle to the trash can nearby. I almost said "I couldn't either, when I was drinking", but decided to let it pass.
