It's been 3 days since my last drink and I have yet to feel any ill effects of the type that I've read about in the other forums. Maybe I'm lucky, or that other shoe is going to drop really hard soon. I'm scheduled to go into a VA Hospital rehab program next week, and I'm really looking forward to it. Anyway...just thought I'd say hi.
