Good job on day five.
I definitely changed my habits especially those at home like reading while watching tv while always having a drink on the end table...and I def maintain and huge drink on hand policy now with water, Pellegrino w lime, diet lemonade....and I definitely don't keep alcohol in the house.
I personally do not look at my recovery as a matter of strength, hope or willpower....it's about having a program with tools for handling life and never turning to a drink, for any reason. It would make life as a sober person infinitely harder to rely on any notion of self will.
Best to you, for making progress, the right choices and growing in recovery as you get sober legs under you.
