Also, it's totally okay to feel really weird at first. I think the reason people use the One Day at a Time philosophy is so they don't have to entertain the idea of "Never another Glass of Champagne at New Years". That wouldn't have worked for me...I worked to change the way I thought about alcohol on every level, so that I do'nt mounr it's loss...it took a lot of work but it helped me.
You are doing great!
