Welcome Debbie - good to have you with us. I know what you mean about wanting a drink once you feel good again. But just come here instead. I did that quite a bit the first few weeks and it made all the difference. Life seems a little disjointed and strange for a bit, but it's like starting any new thing - it takes time to get adjusted (and our brains and bodies are healing). So be patient with it and remember to take it a day at a time.
Hope to see you around!
