Way to go Diana on keeping yourself busy and focused! Pippa's right, a support system is a must. Whatever your chosen method of recovery is, having like-minded people to relate with will make all the difference in the world.
Regarding your comment that you "should want hot chocolate, not an old fashion" --don't should all over yourself! You're an alcoholic, of
course you want an old fashion, there's nothing wrong with that! It's what you choose to do with that desire that's important. You're choosing a better way. You're choosing to live your life, and that's a daily victory!
Hang in there, it really does get better!
