Greg,
You're doing great and 30 days is a major accomplishment. I'll have 14 years of sobriety in January and I could give you a hundred reasons why you should continue to stay sober but those are my reasons, and the important ones are the ones you come up with on your own. The important thing is, how do YOU feel about what you've done?
It took me several shots to get it right. I went out and tested the waters a few more times. But until I made doing it for me the number one priority, it didn't work. It does get easier and your life does get better, but it doesn't happen right away and there are setbacks along the way. Life on life's terms can really suck sometimes.
Just remember to keep it simple. If it helps, I'm proud of you.
Greg
