I need to stop for (at least) 30 days - day 7

One week. Today is my 7th day not drinking alcohol. It is going to be a bit difficult, I can already feel it. I am for some reason more emotional today than normally. Also I am meeting a friend this afternoon and he is going to have beers at the pub, while I am going to drink coke or something. We'll also eat something. He is a supportive friend of mine but there were times before where I failed because we drank together. There were also times where we didn't drink at all. So I can do it, it's just challenging.
It's sometimes difficult with him, because he doesn't really understand the fact that I can't really have 1-2 drinks. He thinks it's easy to just stop. I told him a lot of times that I can't, or it is very very rare that I can and then he understood finally.

My emotions are getting to me. Alcohol was a cave I could hide from my emotions in, but now that cave, that "safe place" is gone. And now I have to face these feelings and figure out what they mean and how to deal with them in a healthy way. It's hard.

have a nice day guys
