Wow. Fantastic. That should keep me going for a bit. 
Thanks for helping @Lisa07!!
@Singtone, plenty of books on my list, tho you will see I trend heavily for female writers.
Female works fine for me. Thank you. 
Itās possible when you get to that place where you realize that sobriety equals freedom, and you never want to wear chains again.
Until you find yourself in that place, maybe focus on saying ānoā to the drink that mattersā¦the first drink, and leave forever for another day.

Thanks, folks. To be honest, Iām in a bit of a strange place. I played football (soccer) with some work colleagues this evening and then went to the pub afterwards. I drank water and didnāt think for one second about drinking a beer. In fact, I was looking at my friendās beer and being disgusted at the thought of drinking it. The strange thing is that I still project forward and think about drinking in the future. I have a week of holiday from work starting tomorrow, which would usually signal 9 days of oblivion. That has been in my mind this week, but the idea of that first drink appals me.
I can understand having both of those feelings/ worries. For me, keeping my focus on being sober today helps me a lot. I do what I can today. 
Ok. Iām coming to the end of Free February and still going strong. I canāt think of a good name for March. Can you?
Marvelous maintaining March!
Thatāll do it. Thanks, Flo. Thatās the difference between maths teachers and English teachers.
Maverick March.
Cos of being sober in March for no reason at all except for being a badass
