So, I'm on day four of my sobriety. I've been a functioning alcoholic for over twenty years. I'm not doing it on my own. I went to my doctor and got prescribed meds to help me along my way. It's going well so far. I'm wondering if it's going too well and I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall so to speak. Thought? Concerns? Snide remarks?

Maybe you needed meds. - not alcohol - a lot of folks self- medicate a host of symptoms like anxiety or depression - with alcohol.

Hope it keeps going well for you

(I've been told chocolate can help with some of the early cravings.).

Just hang in there and the very best of luck.

You've admitted you have a problem. You've sought and gotten help. My father, with whom I haven't spoken in over 20 years, never would even admit it. I doubt he ever has. So from my perspective, you've taken some huge steps, and probably the most important ones. Perhaps even the most difficult. You can do it.

Good for you for taking control of your life. Some days will be harder than others. Despite my reservations about AA, “one day at a time.” is a good place to start.
