End of day 6, surprising (positive) effects

Today is the end of day 6 for me. The withdrawal symptoms are gone. And I've noticed some positive effects that I didn't expect.

My mind is so much clearer. I can think better. I feel more like myself again. I feel like me again.

Today I also thought out some strict rules in case I get cravings or other unexpected things. I have ran through every scenario I could imagine and adjusted it to staying sober. And the scenario where something truly unexpected happens, I've added in a lot of calm. The calm I feel because of being sober.

It's going well. I'm happy.

I think it very good to think about staying sober (what to do's) before hand.
I for sure have some tools now that took time to acquire.

Keep up the good fight hj003

Fantastic, my first 24 hours or nearly is over but I am really worried to going back to drinking again when it is time for a social occasion. Do I just not go.
