Just know that the sweats,shakes and increased anxiety will return if you start drinking again. I had a habit of getting 3-5days sober,start feeling normal again and think "what would one or two hurt?". I stayed in that cycle for 2.5yrs or so and it was a lot of 'work'. Waaayyy easier to just be completely finished. I was at a pool party over the weekend and a couple friends were talking about their drinking problems. They were kinda shocked when I explained, to the T, what was going through their minds. They thought I was pshycic or something. I just told them "I fought that exact mental/physical battle for several years. I'm so glad to be done with it." There was another guy there who's 6mo sober,so him and I hung out and talked recovery while everyone else got outta control.
