Day 4
At the end of day 4. Had a moment today when I could actually taste JD. It passed. The most significant thing about the last 4 days, besides the fact of no alcohol, is I have not once engaged in rationalizing why I can drink after all. I have been solid in my understanding that I cannot drink. Work is so stressful and clearly a trigger. I believe time in sobriety will lead me in the right direction in that regard. Goodnight everyone. Be safe, be well.

4 days! 
since work stress is a trigger, have you found other ways of coping, like exercise, meditation, ice cream? It's important to feel the space alcohol filled with something new that you enjoy. You're doing great!

Hey JackieD- Well done & way to stay strong!
Just remember what you've quoted above, so when that desire to drink sneaks up, you'll be mentally prepared. Having a real appreciation for the fact that you can no longer drink, without compromises, is key. I think it's when we start easing up in our convictions is where we begin to weaken.
Keep it going!!!
