    2 weeks down....

    I am officially over the 2 week hump. Fortunately the weather here in Madrid hasn't been too hot meaning no craving for beer. On the one hot hot hot afternoon we had, i sat drinking Horchata (made with tiger nuts...or tiger's nut if you will )

    I wish i could say it was a breeze, it wasn't. Dinners with friends where they had wine and I didn't happened, i wanted it - but didn't. I nearly crumbled once, but the next morning, i woke up feeling much better about my self and my aim of an AF life.

    I had a couple of days with a mild headache, and was feeling more irritable than usual, though fortunately my wife was away working (she is a flight attendent), so she missed the brunt of it .

    Once I got to a week, i could already see a difference, not feeling as bloated, eyes seemed a bit brighter and waking every morning feeling good about what was to come that day. Maybe it is the benefits of having a good nights sleep. I have also picked up the gym to have a place to pound out my extra energy.

    In short, i am still looking at one day at a time, but the fog clouding the view of a lifetime AF is starting to clear, and looks good.

    Have you checked out the toolbox here in the monthly abstinence thread, you need goals and a plan to work to,It be nearly impossible to just stop and do nothing different, also if you can try and post here as much as possible as we can all relate to what your going through, nothing changes if nothing changes.;-)

                Holey, great work on the two weeks. You should be proud of yourself.

                It is not easy. If it were, many of us would not be struggling with this problem. You can do it. The benefits only continue, and they get better and better. You will have strong urges come along; surf them like a wave. Some urges will be shorter, some longer, some more intense...but they will pass - just like a wave.

                Keep fighing, and adding those days together,
