Back again!

First joined in May, lasted a few days and then spent the whole Summer drinking daily. Had a wake up call last weekend. I wanted to watch a movie on Sunday afternoon that I had recorded. I went to watch it and it was already 88 minutes into the movie! Found out later that I have spent Saturday evening watching it with my son and couldn't remember. Very scary. So I tapered Sunday and Monday and am now on day 4. Longest I have gone in a year. Days 1 and 2 weren't great but nothing I couldn't handle. Feeling better today and sleeping well. I can't believe how hungry I am!

Bit of background - I am a 46 year old mother of two teens recently divorced. I am happy to be out of the relationship but I suppose it gave me the time and financial freedom to drink whenever I want.

Also , haven't smoked in four days either as smoking and drinking went hand in hand for me.
