I had four days off work and off the alcohol. I'm ready to begin this week with a positive outlook on life. I need to stay focused on what is important in life. I have had bouts of anger and irritability over the past few days. Fortunately I did not even consider drinking to deal with these times of despair. I know it will take time to adjust to life without alcohol. It has been very helpful to be able to come to SR and seek support and advice. I appreciate you all.

Congratulations on Day 4! Say to yourself "If you can stay away from alcohol for for days you can stay away from alcohol forever".

Thanks folks! I'm beginning to feel so much better about myself. I hated the thought of being in bondage to alcohol. I realize that it is too early to start to celebrate (alcohol free). I am going to savor this feeling of being in control of this part of my life. I'm going to enjoy this natural high as long as it last. I believe the moment I forget how good this feels is the moment I could be sucked back into the life I no longer want to be in.
