It's been 4 weeks now... not a sip!
Not a sip. 
But today I'm annoyed, angry, and trying to get out of my foul mood. Why? I don't know. I'm just in a mood. It's dreary, cloudy, drizzly, I was rained on over & over today and it seems that everyone I spoke to today wanted to tell me all their problems. Whine, whine, whine. Sigh. Enough already!
I just remembered that a month ago I would have downed a few shots to say "the hell with it". And then it would all begin.
Not only do I not have the poison around, but I won't, wouldn't, go back to a drink. A beverage will not fix my head - it'll just make my liver do flip flops in the long run. I choose to just be in a freakin bad mood & if someone doesn't like it ---- then go away!!!!!! I will not "fix" my attitude with alcohol anymore.
Instead... I've found a page of Steven Wright one liners & my mood is picking up a little:
Do cemetery workers prefer the graveyard shift?
I can levitate birds. No one cares.
If all the nations in the world are in debt, where did all the money go?

I love Steven Wright too 
Moodiness is pretty common I think - I dunno whether you'd class that under PAWs or not, but most of us have irritable phases, and often around 30 days. It's not unusual anyway LOL.
Congrats on your first month!

Steven Wright rules one-liners!
Congrats on your first month of living sober. Feels good, doesn't it!
"I used to work at a fire hydrant company... couldn't park anywhere near the place."
here's some more Steven Wright Quotes

Here's some for everyone...

A FEW WORDS FROM THE VISIONARY STEVEN WRIGHT:
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.
Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.
Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.
I intend to live forever - so far, so good.
Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.
Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!
Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
