Two weeks sans Alky. The fourth week is going to be the hardest because that is when I have always messed up. So I am just checking in to try to reinforce my resolve.

Well done on your two weeks!
Maybe try some positive thinking about week 4. Some statements for you:
- It’s in the future. It’s not here yet, no point in fretting it.
- Week 4 will be easy, I’ll have 3 weeks experience by then!
- On the last day of week 4, I’m going to treat myself to a new hat (or ice cream or pedicure etc)
Blessings on your house 
as you begin your journey.

Congratulations on 2 weeks!!! Try not to worry too much about the 4th week mark. I know it can be worrisome but its just another day 
My relapse day used to be every 3rd day and Id get worked about it which actually did me a disservice bcuz me being worked up increased my urge to use. So try to treat the 4th week mark as any other day. Its literally one day at a time. And as mentioned, stick even closer to ur supports. Make a plan of action for ur days and follow thru. U CAN absolutely get thru this tough time.

Thank you. That is the slippery slope. We have to stay in a nice flowery meadow, not on an old icy slippery slope. (I love metaphors, though the ones I just wrote probably are not the best.)
You can do this. You don’t need booze!
