Juno, good job on day one and getting to those meetings. I've started a journal too, just thoughts and quotes and reasons not to drink.
Matilda, I agree so Much. When life seems fine on the outside, it's so easy to convince ourselves that our drinking isn't a problem. Since I drink alone and things seem relatively fine in my life, most people have no idea that I even drink. Which makes it even harder. Less accountable and lots of room for rationalizing and excuses.
