20 days is great. Just a few days away from a 30 day chip, right? There's something magical about the first one - such a feeling of accomplishment.
And it is accomplishment. The first 30 days are the toughest. Not to say that it's easy coasting after that, but it does get better.
Just keep you guard up. There's always a little voice inside your head that will try to convince you that a) you're not going to make it, or b) you're cured and can go back to social drinking. Don't believe it - it's the addiction tiger.
Once a pickle, always a pickle.
