Day 2 I always feel the most tired....glad you are working it again.
You will be ok...tonight when you lay your head down...you will be so much more relaxed.

Good luck on fighting the fight.
Its supposed to be simple to stay sober....just don't pick up a drink.....now you are on your way.

U don't want to be Me and have over 10 times day 1 again and then finally get it.
Just tell yourself that you are actually not missing out on anything by not consuming alcohol.
It really is that easy: 'I'm not missing out, I am not loosing out, I have had more than my fair share, and now I'm done period".
When you hang out with friends and they offer a drink and just say 'no thanks' and make it a non issue, don't make it a big deal because really it's not.
Don't think to hard and don't do it again OR look forward to having another day 1 again.
