My husband is also a heavy drinker with Hep C who is always going to quit "soon". I couldn't wait any longer for him so I here I am.
Welcome!
How much did you used to drink every night? Just a couple drinks or did you feel the need for a binge every evening?
Only reason I ask is I'm curious know if you are having side effects of not drinking or its what has happened to family members who have made you want to quit. How did you find the five days off!
Anyhow, don't feel bad about Wednesday. You're back on an drink free day. That's all that matters.
