Regarding your time line above, I think you are correct. I view days AF as a geometric progression. In other words it is kind of like a rocket ship taking off. Lots of power and enthusiasm in the early days as we leave the orbital pull of AL, and as time goes on we settle into a nice, easy orbit, whereby we can look back and enjoy what's been achieved.
To be more specific:
Day 1- Huge day; initial lift off- did I really just go through 24 hours without a single drop of AL?,
Day 3- Rocket is just about 1000 feet above ground, thrusters are still full strength- this is when the AL fog starts to lift, and we can start to look down at what may be a new world, good things are happening fast,
Day 7-Just starting to see the edge of AL gravitational pull,- well, I haven't crashed after initial lift off, just maybe this could work???
Day 13- I can see the heavens above. The nasty AL pull below, is now coming into focus as being in the rear view mirror.-I really think it IS working!!
Day 30- Really clearing AL gravitational pull,- the cravings are steadily going away, I am feeling better than I have in years- did I really just finish a month AF??
Day 60- Safely out of AL gravity, but remaining very vigilant-, Gosh, I have been on MWO everyday for the last two months, heck, I am even starting to offer advice to others behind me. Imagine that!
Day 100- Orbit achieved, main thrusters off, now just a bit of minor thruster modification now and again, Geez, I haven't had any urge or craving in a long time, I don't even think about AL that much now. Who would have thought?
Day 150- Just gliding along enjoying this new AF world- I can see 6 months on the near horizon and 1 year doesn't look to be that far away.
Well, that is the Starship Trooper report submitted by AF/Astronaut Okoren- tomorrow 160 AF days.
