Almost a month

I am now 22 days sober. I like it, I wouldn't describe my experience as complete elation but I enjoy normal life without alcohol now. I had hoped I would somehow get sober and it would get rid of my anger issues relating to work but unfortunately I'm still on the fast train to getting fired for telling my boss he's useless. I don't think I'm wrong but I just want to shut up and keep my job as safe as possible. Even though im 29 and drank twice a week 8 to 14 beers for 8 years I still devote a lot of time to being a hypochondriac and stressing about every little ache and pain being related to a chirrotic liver ticking away the days till I leave my wife and unborn child without a husband and father. I know I need to just see a doctor and get it out of the way but my own fear and the excuses I tell myself about needing the insurance money for my pregnant wife keep me from going at least for now. All in all I'm very happy I somehow snapped out of the cycle that was sure to rob me of far more than my health just hope I didn't wait too long.

With knowledge, there is power. Lack of knowledge, the unknown, leads to fear.

Let the doc get that all cleared up for you.
