Yes, do hang in there LifeIsGood. It took me about 3 "tries" before I could get even a couple weeks in of sobriety; I eventually got so sick of drinking again, the addiction cycle starting over and withdrawal kicking in that AV recognition got easier each time. Now, there is nothing my Beast can say to me to convince me to drink again...it's all just a ploy, and that **cker doesn't have to suffer the hell of addiction that I do, so its opinions on booze are null and void from here on out.
I had a lot of success with movies too...it can distract your thoughts pretty well, just as sleeping can. In my first 5 days, I think I would've slept for 3 days straight if I didn't have to work. lol Best wishes and keep posting.
