Thank you all for your replies. It is nice to know that there are people who understand.

I was able to pick someone up at the airport last night, without much anxiety. Despite the urge to drink, I was able to ignore it and walk out the door. JFK aiport is always aggravating to drive into, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I'm up to about three cups of chocolate milk a day. I might have to use a sugar substitute like Stevia, perhaps, in order to keep fit. Well, chocolate milk is not as bad as consuming mass quantities of alcohol, so I'm not too concerned about it.

Before I quit drinking, I mostly craved for salty snacks. Hmmm.

I'm eating vegetables like a madman. A healthier madman. Good changes. Yes. Very good. Good changes, yes, but... will it last? There's that sense of doubt and pessimistic thoughts again.

I think I'm going to go "vegetarian" for awhile. The thought of taking animal flesh out of my diet does make me quiver, though. It must have been my viewing of, "Super-size Me" that did it.

Now I feel sober and saner than I've ever been, but still don't know what to do with myself. I'll have to work on that, as well.

Take care, everyone and thank you.
