Taking y'all's advice.
Day 24 - the longest I've been without a drink since I was in my early 20s. I've read repeatedly on here that when one has a craving, one should come on here and post. Well, today is that day. Long day. Aching neck and shoulders from work. Listened to co-workers bicker all day - amazing the downer effect that has. Wanted nothing more than to reward myself like I used to with a drink or three. But I didn't. I do miss the initial glow and pain-relieving effects of that first cold one, but I don't miss the heartburn, headache, fatigue, fogginess that comes with the third or fourth one. So thanks for listening and for the support. I will join everyone in not drinking tonight. I'm watching a British murder mystery and popping Advil instead.
