About a month ago I was getting ready to shovel snow AGAIN! In my garage I discovered 4 bottles of dogfish. I was tempted beyond belief. But I walked away. At a meeting that night I shared about it. Someone I had never met drove me home and we dumped out the beers together into the snow.
That was after almost 60 days sober. The craving is not there but the urges come and go occasionally. I was reminded that almost everything I do for the next year will be the first time I did it without a beer or drink. After scoffing it off, I realized how true it is. Congratulations on stopping. You have a long way to go. Just keep doing what others have already said. You only have to get through today. Tomorrow is another day. And if you are struggling with getting through the day, just get through the next hour. It will come I promise you that. Take it from someone who didn't go a day without drinking for the past 12 years.
