--Day 5-- I'm starting to have a little more energy and noticing the beauty in everyday things. Teared up a bit while in line for the cashier at the pharmacy. I don't really know why, I was looking outside at the time and there was fresh snow on the ground and the world seemed so pure and clean and so did I. I have a few niggling fears about a life without alcohol, but for the first time ever in my life I can picture it. A big thanks to everyone on this forum! Up the Decemberists!
