4 days

I now have 4 days' abstinence behind me, and that feels really good. It's an achievement, and I'm very grateful to my Higher Power.

And, I have to keep remembering not to get ahead of myself. When I start getting comfortable in my new abstinence -- when I start feeling proud of myself -- when I start to talk with pride about the length of my abstinence -- when I start to feel that I've "turned the tide" -- that's when I need to do an ego check, and ask God to help me keep living with my addiction just one day at a time.
