Hi all
I am 38 and have been drinking more or less daily for 8 years. Usually a bottle of red wine or 6-8 cans of lager and on weekends sometimes both!!!! I am on day 3 and can honestly say that I do not have the desire to drink. Yes I do think about it now and again but find it quite easy to resist the alcohol when shopping. I don't think I drink for the effect I think it's more habit. I have never been to my doctors with my issue but just over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a mild twinge every now and again under my right rib cage and sometimes feel it in my back again on the right. Has anyone else experienced this after years of drinking ?
