Hey Scott, thanks for that
It does help to read that. I always make my posts sound so depressing when the funny thing is I'm actually starting to be a lot happier than I've ever been! The thing that takes getting used to is re-working my weekend nights so I don't feel like I'm "missing out" on going out to bars and stuff. I don't even REALLY miss that stuff, I just get a little anxious and bored if I am just sitting around on a Friday or Saturday. I'm trying to remember to make plans, even if that plan is read the book I've been meaning to get to.
But I needed the reminder of how I felt when I started here back in March. I felt awful. And I feel so good now. I'm just worried that I'll get too comfortable. I guess I also get a little down sometimes when I visit this site since it confirms that I actually have a problem with drinking and I'm not just quitting for getting-healthy reasons, although that is a large part of it, I suppose.
Thanks for all the encouragement!
