LetitGo, I felt as though a monstrous weight of sadness and despair was lifted when I understood I had just quit drinking for good, that all of that misery was gone now forever. It was this sense of relief that actually gave me the momentum to keep going through those first few days. When I got it that I didn't have to or need to drink anymore, it almost made me giddy.
The whole idea of keeping the possibility alive of drinking again someday, maybe even tomorrow, has never made any sense for me. I was finally free, and never going back.
