How did any of you actually do this?!
It feels like it is taking all of my energy and time just not to drink. It's day five, and a really stressful meeting came up that I have to deal with this afternoon. Usually I would have four or five cups of vodka with ice and a slice of lemon. And the time would fly, and I would manage to deal with the meeting from a comfortable, "rosy" perspective. Now I am so stuck. How do you deal with life on its own terms without trying to run away through drinking? How did you do it?
