Congrats on seven days. I remember went I went a week without drinking and realized I hadn't done that in over thirty years drinking. Your words above read just like my struggle. I was either thinking about drinking or thinking about not drinking. A hard fight but I made it through. Almost 16 months sober...the reward for not giving into the struggle. You might have a couple of rough weeks, maybe even months ahead of you. But you can live sober.

Hope you do.
