Default 2nd day AF
Hello all,,

Took me a few minutes to realize what AF meant - I am new here and am going to give this a go - 36 year old male, long term heavy drinker (15 drinks per day)- professional job, wife and infant - sick of the lie and sick of the pressure - I know I should detox properly but being the gambler I am, I am just going to ride these next five days out - nothing out of the ordinary spurred this on - It is just time -

Thanks for reading

Jim

Day 3 now - last night was pretty rough between 6 (supper) and about 10 - after that I calmed down a bit and read - My wife and kid went to her relatives for a few days so I could rough the beginning out. Felt really good this morning to be at work without full tilt anxiety.

By the way, , thanks for the support. I quit smoking last march 9th (over a year now) by going to a site called quitnet.com. I plan to work this the same way,,that was really hard in the beginning but I loved looking at the days building up. I really have to do this for my family.

Hello Jim and welcome to MWO,
Congratulations on day 3... Yes, it is hard for the the first week or so, but as the days pass by it does get easier, and as you say watching the days add up is a great incentive..

Good luck,
Louise..
