Far away? Bro, you have done this for 5 days!! It's not far away, it's right in your lap! You have figured out the first part; don't drink no matter what. Keep doing that. Feel like drinking? Put if off for an hour, then another hour. Build your confidence that it is YOU who can do this.
Stick around here and read as much as you can. The second part of this journey is changing how you think and feel about yourself and the world around you. That takes time and daily practice. But for now, keep the cork in the bottle. Everything else will fall into place if you are willing to do a little bit of footwork and can remain open to any and all possibilities for your life.
