Day 3 and feeling much better. Had a small breakfast, planning to have a small lunch, and drinking plenty of water. Anytime I have a craving, I close my eyes and think about where I know I will be within two or three days (back to the morning to midnight beer drinking) and focus on how I used to go to bed every night wondering why I had drank so much, and waking up puking and sick, cancelling job estimates.... ugh. That really kills the urge, thinking about how I didn't like myself then and right now, I feel ok.
My wife still has a few drinks at night, and that has not triggered me either. As of now, I don't even miss it. Heck, she even left a cold one in the fridge, which I asked her not to do (I used to have liquid breakfast and lunch). Any other time, I'd have said, "what's just one". Now I don't have that attitude. I know that one leads to one two three the next time, then who knows the next time.
Peace
