Day 58 for me. The first week was the hardest, I found, but things got better and better and by now I'm feeling pretty good.

One thing I did to get me through the beginning was to imagine I had a very wise sponsor, and would ask him what I should do when confronted with a decision. He'd say something like, "First things first," or "easy does it."

If you can't imagine a wise sponsor you might want to attend AA and get an actual person, or alternatively try RR, which is what I used, in addition to my imaginary friend.

Things do get better - you can do it!
