5 days was really just getting over the misery of the detox for me.
I feel like we think a lot of depressing thoughts in our first days of recovery...everything comes flooding back to us.
You have to remember..it doesn't matter what you do for work..and that you ARE ENOUGH....our careers don't go to the grave with us...what people remember is what we contributed as a friend and family member and what type of person we were.
I don't want to be remembered as the "drunk"...which I will be anyway...but if I maintain staying sober I have so much more to offer the world...that I won't go out as just the "drunk".
