Cowgirlie

It's like I feel 14 days is proof enough that I don't have a problem! Like the sentence/punishment has been served! And beyond that is unchartered territory which makes me uneasy?? I don't know why specifically 2 weeks; it sounds so silly written down, now you ask.

I just feel so freaked out that I was more out of control by drinking much less; I mean it kinda makes sense but has just shocked me. Actual bruises??? Ughh. I now have some pretty real, dramatic and ugly reminders to look at each day... just worried that they will fade right around the 2 week mark again.

I hear that in early recovery many people manage longer periods of abstainance after each 'fall.' Is it also common to struggle to get past a particular stage?
