Hello! I have to agree that the 30 days are really tough but in the end, a huge help in getting a handle on this problem. Around 21-22 days I was really pissed, feeling deprived, just waiting for day 30 to roll around so it was "okay" to try to drink. And when it did roll around, it really did just roll. On day 33 I had one glass of wine to celebrate wedding anniversary. I didn't even finish the glass, because A. I don't like wine B. I was really, truly looking forward to waking up the next morning clear headed and proud. I no longer look at the clock waiting for 5 to roll around. What helped me there was getting out of the house
before the witching hour, because if I was there at that time, the pull would have been too strong. I'd schedule things like haircuts, vet appts., dr. appt. as late in the day as possible so I wouldn't be here. Before long, the bad habits starting to retreat to something of the past. Right now it is wonderful to have to check the calendar to see how many hangover free days I've had (mad at myself that I can't count AF days anymore because of that stupid glass of wine!), but I'm at 38 today and feeling so much better and hopeful for a future that doesn't included being ruled by the clock and liquor cabinet.
