When you first quit, it seems alcohol thoughts consume every second. (Thinking how to avoid it. How to live without, and on and on... ) But understand that although before you quit, you planned everything around having it, and when you first quit, you plan everything around not having it, eventually, that drops off and little by little you think about it with less and less frequency.
Eventually it becomes a rare thought. Instead you think what to do with your new time, your new health and self esteem, your extra money....And then, you think about how you want to help others. All that happens, as long as you DON'T drink.
Also, at first, you think everyone is noticing that you are quitting. You think they notice when you are not drinking. You feel transparent.... But the truth is, they are not noticing. What has been the center of your life: alcohol, is NOT the center of most people's lives. And eventually it won't be the center of yours either! As long as you DON'T DRINK. Get through the beginning weeks and months. You do that, by NOT drinking. You CAN do this. You're drinking wants you to think that you can't. But the real truth is, YOU CAN.
