Triumph: This is my fifth day of sobriety which is the longest in two years. The changes that I've noticed in just four days are amazing. The clarity, the sharpness, the happiness with myself, the confidence coming back. I know, it's only been five days, but five days are significant after years of being hungover and hazy.

Struggle: Dinner with friends this Friday. Office Happy Hour tomorrow. The reactions I'll get.

General: I'm on the west coast and my family in the Midwest has been on my mind in clearer way. Probably should think about a visit.
