Congrats on your 12 days. I was NOT a happy camper at 12 days either. Actually I take that back...I physically felt better, but I was angry and had a lot of "why me"? moments for awhile. I remember sitting in my therapy group whining "but I don't WANT to be an alcoholic". It was hard for me because I felt like I was losing a good friend and that I was being deprived of something that made me feel secure. When I start to idealize everything that alcohol gave me, I make myself think about everything it took away from me. Everything that I haven't been able to do for years because of the "little liquid devil". That usually helps me feel better.
