Congratulations on getting to day 7 Aaron.
I am from Queensland also, Townsville actually. QLD and Australia has such a huge drinking culture, I know a lot of people who are really alcoholics but don't think they are also, as well as being one myself
Honestly it does get easier. People say one day at a time but I say one moment at a time.
Do your best to avoid unnecessary stress. Keep congratulating yourself on being so courageous to get to 7 days.
I didn't think I could get to 5 days. But now I am at 6 months. It is still hard at times, but it gets easier and better. Get as much support as you can, here, groups like hospital drug and alcohol programs and AA and counsellors etc.
I never want to go through the hell of the first day, first 3 days, first 5 days, first week ever ever ever again. I don't deserve that. Neither do you Aaron.
Good luck. You are strong to get here. You can do it.
