What's the toughest day of the week? And why?

4. Give it time.

After 37 years there is no "toughest day," of the week, or of the year. Alcohol, and the consumption thereof, is simply not part of my life, and has not been for quite some time. I do not think about it, and I do not miss it.

My first sponsor said something to me that actually is the whole fundamental principle put forth in the Big Book. "I do not want you to learn how to handle your drinking problem," he told me. "I want you to become a person who does not have a drinking problem."

Alcohol is simply a non-issue. My wife drinks wine from time to time, and I simply do not notice it. She also used tampons for many years. That didn't affect me either. I didn't regret not being able to use tampons.

Hang in there. Rigorously endeavor to make the twelve steps a daily discipline and use them as the guiding principle of your life, and you will find one day that you are not having any "toughest days."
