Hi Kevin
I think it's true we're all different...the first 30 days were rough for me - I was wiped out physically and mentally - like Carol I was still working hard at protecting myself.
the second 30 days I learned that acceptance was the key - accepting I was an alcoholic and that I couldn't drink anymore, not if I wanted my life to be different.
I stopped seeing the process as a battle.
There's no need for battle if no one fights.
That seemed to make my second month a little easier for me than the first...and I went from there
