Yeah, I'll be interested to see how I go as well. Hopefully I do feel nonchalant, otherwise I'll be disappointed.

Zen, you beat me to it. I was trying to work out how to make my letters huge.

you've been pretty amazing Pan...I'm sure you'll be fine. But maybe you should give yourself a time/number of drinks limit so you have a plan.

My drinking history prior? Horrendous!!!! About 2 litres of wine every day.

For many, many, many years.

Yes, I will stick to no more than 2 drinks because I will be driving. I'll probably only have one.

Yep, 2 litres to zero just like that. Not that it was easy. Habits and all that. I am 52, nearly touching 53 and I have been drinking since I was 21. Drinking heavily like that? About 15 years.

No meds, no supps. Willpower only. That and the desire to stop before I ruined my marriage. I didn't much care about my health.

I haven't tucked myself away exactly. I've been around to see a friend who drinks like a fish a couple of times. I just didn't want to put myself into a bar situation.

Staying by myself at the house actually made it harder. No company for distraction and nobody to see if I slipped up, but I made a promise to myself and I'm pretty big on them, if it is only to myself.

You have done so well Zen. I have followed your progress for a while. I'm very proud of you.

All I have said is I've given up drinking for a while. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that is a good thing. Perhaps just not HOW much a good thing.

I never thought I would reach 60 days. I thought MAYBE 30, but probably not. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but that I had to stop then and there for as long as I could. Funny how it gets easier with AF time.
