Around Day 3 or 4 I tend to start feeling really good and yesterday I got some great news and instantly "celebrated" by drinking (and cooking) and now I feel like crap today. Why do I do this to myself!? Things were going so great the past few days!
Once you get past the very early days it gets easier to deal with those impulses to "celebrate" with a drink. Stick with it and you'll see what benefits sobriety has to offer.
