Welcome Janine, you've just made one of the best decisions of your life. You seem to be doing pretty good at day five compared to me. I couldn't even type from the shaking or get my thoughts together enough to come up with something half way coherent. It's scary in the beginning but always remember that ultimately this is a healthy, positive hopeful step to a wonderful future. Immerse yourself in all things recovery right now and try to fill that void that alcohol used to fill with character building activities....You can do this...Hang in there and stick around for awhile!!
