Thanks, SlimSlim

I am not too sure if the "60 day" marker is what has done it (like it is fine working towards a milestone and great to celebrate it but then there is a deflated feeling a couple of days later).

Otherwise it is not having a long term view of myself as a "non drinker" so when I get to the point that I no longer have physical cravings then I revert to the "why am I doing this?" little voice.

Anyway, I am a very black and white person so "no alcohol" is a relatively easy option to follow. I start to have difficulties whenever I start thinking "well, maybe just some". There simply is no grey area for me. Then I start getting anxiety, stomach cramps, can't get the idea out of my head and I end up fighting with myself every few minutes about it. Eventually I get to the point where alcohol is going to make the feelings go away (and we all know where that leads).
