They can have one fun night every few months and not miss it in between where I was doing it every night. I have to keep admitting to myself that I am different in that way.

I'm still new enough to SR where I'm surprised how much alike so many of us are with our problems! It's irksome, but yep, eventually us alcoholics either quit or just die from it. May as well quit while we're able to as it only gets harder to do so.
It seems like to me at 30 days I was over all the withdrawal stuff. It had just become such an ingrained habit that it was strange not to be drinking as a part of my life. But in just a few months, I was over that as well. I hope that helps at all!
