I'll second vman, don't drink no matter what! (And by all means, stick around vman! Get all the support you can get from everywhere you can get it! Hiding I find is part of my addiction, not part of being sober.)
I managed to get through September with about a third of the days sober days. On day 5 now, and I'm feeling like October is it. Had a talk with my wife, and I find i just have to keep reminding myself of the obvious (how will I feel tomorrow, I have a fatty liver, i hate memory loss, i feel great not drinking, etc.)
Congrats on the job WL! You are doing amazing.
