I have had similiar thoughts, alcohol defined who I was. I am only on day 4, but I am having to turn down social invites etc. I think at some point we will get to redefine our life, but first we (at least I) need to get over a few of the physical battles, then start looking at why I drank, and some point after that redefine myself (or maybe the redefinition starts as you fill in the drinking time with other activities). Just a ramable, I know....
