Thanks Artchic, purple_fins, Phoenix7, and LadyShadow, I really appreciate the encouragement.

Today is Day 7, and I' m definitely taking it a day at a time.

Wound up not having a harp lesson yesterday, as my teacher had a conflict, so I went to a drop in group at my rehab. I'm glad I went, staff were relieved to see me, and to hear that I was sober, and the group itself was ok. Other than that mostly just relaxed. I'm still not back to 100%.

Today should be interesting - I have a 9 am phone assessment to get into another rehab, that actually treats concurrent disorders. I'm really hoping that I can get in. Then this afternoon I have an appointment with my psychiatrist. In between I promised my roommate that I'd clean the microwave which shouldn't take long.

I'm definitely sad about not being able to have a couple of pints of beer on a patio in the sun, any more. But I know that would just lead some place bad, and I'm determined to stay sober this time. Something just feels different.
