For now just find something you enjoy doing without alcohol and focus on that. Keep busy. Find something.

You can do this!
I'm also on Day 4. I think I've finally realized that I need to give it a couple or three months to see how I really feel OFF of alcohol like mentioned above. I haven't done that. Maybe you should try that too. I figure I have no idea how I'll feel because it's been so long since I've been sober longer than a couple of weeks that I might as well try and find out.

I say try to give it some time. You can always go back... but maybe you won't want to.
