The thing is, if your plan is 4 non-drinking days, followed by 3 drinking days, I am convinced it takes more than 4 days to detox from heavy alcohol use.
Your thinking is still a bit drunk after you stop, you will spend the non-drinking days irritated and anxious. It took 2 weeks before I started to feel a calm. And it's really nice!
Also, on your 3 drinking days, you will probably over-drink to make up for the oncoming 4 days of sobriety. What a roller-coaster.
I had all sorts of plans. I did the same thing but the person I was on my off days was still messed up. I wasn't able to clean up my life properly with that system.
As it stands, it will take maybe 2-3 more months to go through everything in this house.
39k a year? I don't know if you own a house or condo but that would cover a mortgage for a year in most places, then you could have something to show for your hard work.
