Five weeks today!

So far, so good. I have five sober weeks behind me and am now at a point where I don't think about alcohol much at all; even when my former "drinks time" rolls around in late afternoon. I am now habituated to going for a walk -- around the property, not to the liquor cabinet. It seems to be getting a little easier every day; I keep telling myself not to get over-confident.

I think that saying no to alcohol is analogous to exercise; the more often you do it, the stronger you get.
