Welcome Back! I'm too new to be able to give much advice - others will be by to welcome you soon I'm sure. Just know that you can do it!

I dread the next couple of weeks more than the first few days. The first few days I always feel crappy so not drinking is easy. Then the next couple of days I end up feeling good and it (usually) is just a matter of time until I relapse. It's hard to make it through that feel physically good/"see I don't have a problem" stage to the "I'm really enjoying my life not drinking - it is soooo much better".

I know that that stage does exist - I've been there once or twice in the last 26 years.... Keep posting and stay close to SR. The support here has been invaluable to me. Do you have a plan for the weekend? Are you working a program? Hope you see you around this weekend !
