Its been 2 weeks for me as well.
Today was the day that I thought for sure that I would end up drinking. It took some effort to get home from work without stopping in at the usual bar.
Every second, every minute, every hour, every day is a victory.
I know that I haven't mastered this yet. Every day I fight with myself to keep from drinking. I keep thinking that a couple of drinks won't hurt...except I know that I've never been able to stop at just 1 or 2.

Tiptoe, hang in there. You got it, sometimes it's one hour or one minute at a time and through these hours and minutes we make days. This is how it all comes together. We have it in us to recover, open the door and let your light shine in. We're always here for you thru everything, good and bad.
Hugs,
Hope

Hey tip toe....my name is Josi and I just wanted to congratulate you on 2 weeks. Every day you will feel better. It has been five months for me and I am amazed at the renewal.
Keep working..every minute if you have to...it WILL get better.

Great tiptoe...
...yep...one day, hour, or minute at a time. Otherwise it don't work.
anomie, you said, "I know I haven't mastered this yet."
You never will. It is not something that can be mastered...when you think you have, THAT'S when you'll drink again. It's a sneaky little bastard and LOVES to catch us getting complacent...then WHAM...we wake up hung over wondering where the hell that came from. A daily reprieve, that's all...no mastery.

Keep up the good work Brittany,
I think you can go the distance here. One day at a time. You have already showed me that you have wisdom beyond your years. Stay in touch with me and I will help you any way that I can. AA and the 12 steps really work!
