Thanks for asking this question.
Since I quit (Day 32) my general state of emotional being has changed for the better. I'm no longer anxious, I get up each morning without a hangover. This is great.
I originally was going to go dry for January, and I've extended it to February. I'm due to go on a skiing trip at the end of March, and I now want to stay sober for that. This trip is quite an easy one to justify, as the skiing starts early each morning and I don't want to be hungover for it!
As the days go by, I am more and more sure I don't want to drink again. When push comes to shove what that actually means is that there are more and more situations/contexts/places where I am comfortable not drinking. Home is the first (never ever wanted to be a home drinker anyway), out socialising is the next (almost feel comfortable with that), holidays is the final one.
Being totally honest it is a battle of wills between a big part of me not wanting to drink and another big part of me wanting to be able to 'fit in', especially with one friend in particular. This is a demon I still have to face, and I have not yet worked out its meaning.
