Welcome Will. Congratulations on day 2. My wife kept drinking, unfortunately uncontrollably, when I quit for good. It was hard. But I concentrated so much on my recovery and gratitude and spent a lot of time on here I got through it. It was hard as all hell too. Just the quitting part.

Anyway. If you’re willing there’s a great bunch of grateful alcoholics on this thread.
