Hi Biza

Congratulations on day 7

It had been a very long time since I had a day 7 too, but people here told me as long as I continued to work hard I'd be ok, and I was...in the recovery business you really do get out what you put in

Personally I don't think willpower is the key at all. I'm very strong willed, but that never helped me stay sober.

What did help me was accepting my condition - I fully accepted I was an alcoholic and that drinking alcohol was no longer a viable choice for me, under any circumstances.

For me, that took a lot of the internal struggle out.
