You should consider comedy writing as your new hobby now that drinking isn't. Your quite hilarious. 
I particularly liked the bowling alley gutter reference.
March on soldier. Lay those casualties of war to rest.

My house looks like there was a shootout at Whiskey Gulch, empty bottles, dead soldiers, everywhere. I need to dispose of the bodies.
I considered using one of my hallways as a bowling alley and setting the empty booze bottles up as bowling pins. But the alley wouldn't have a gutter, and every alcoholic needs a gutter.
You see, prior to SR I was drinking about a fifth-and-a-half a day. That adds up to lotsa bottles. And I wouldn't throw the bottles away. It’s not like I treasured them. I just didn't want to put them out in curbside recycling for everyone to see. Still don’t. So, for this one day, I’m going to show utter disregard for the environment and just pitch the darn things in the garbage.
So there.
This will be the first of many items on my “Little Things” agenda.
Tomorrow I’ll vacuum the cat.

Way to go on a week, Frank!
It's not easy getting sober. But the first week is the hardest, at least it was in my book. In the days that followed, the "need" to feed my monster was discernibly growing less intense.
I see you've got your avatar picture up! Been thinking about "Lost" and how much I really liked that show. My all time favorite episode was "The Constant." Remember this line: "If anything happens, Desmond Hume will be my constant."
We don't have a Desmond Hume. But we all have each other here on SR. And that's a darn fine constant for folks like us.
You're doing great, Frank. You can do this.

As for how I am doing, I'll soon be posting sort of a self-inventory as I begin Week 2.
Stay tuned!
