13 days - pretty soon it will be > 2 weeks! The frequency of thought about drinking is already getting less. Some of my new behaviors - drinking dilute cranberry juice or tea when I would be grabbing a glass of wine; cooking with a glass of water by my side instead of a glass of wine, picking up a book or some knitting instead of a glass of wine - talking with my husband every day about how it is feeling - some of these new things are beginning to feel good (not just acceptable for the moment). The clearness in my head is really amazing and something I had not expected is the decrease in aches in my joints.

So far I am getting more good from this than I ever expected.

Thank you for this thread..
