Boleo, right on.
When we start participating in our recovery is when the bright light of the obsession begins to dim. I stuck to the other members like glue. My life depended on it. These feelings will deminish over time so I'll use the old addage "Don't quit one minute before the miracle happens". Well, my friend, if you've gone 8 days without when you are used to being either drunk or hungover, then the miracle has begun to occur. Stick with it. God Bless
