Keep the optimism going.

Getting sober isn't easy. But sometimes, as we get so caught up in the solemn and momentous decision we've made, we forget that optimism is good for us. I think of it as hope manifesting itself in our day-to-day existence.

You're doing well, Delfin. Like you, I didn't have the textbook severe withdrawal symptoms, though I was horribly fatigued for a while. But that doesn't mean that ending our dependence on alcohol is a romp. Your commitment to vigilance will serve you well.

Stay close and congrats on choosing sobriety. You'll never regret it.
