A pat on the back for myself..
I've been sober for 14 days and I feel great!! I have gotten past the shakes, the cravings and now it it smooth sailing. Also, I came to the conclusion that when I start drinking again (let's be serious people, it's inevitable) I am going to try to keep it to the weekends only.
Sad, scary story:
I met a guy last night at the bar I work at, I was serving him Stoli on the rocks. We got to talking and he told me he was in the beginning stages of cirrhosis of the liver, at age 43. : ( Not the future I am looking forward to.
