44 days is Wonderful, congratulations. I am on day 4 once again. It is a monster, it seems just when I start feeling really good the craving strikes.

I hope to be where you are soon.. Good luck

44 days is great....So is 4...Any days away from alcohol works for me. It is a monster. Just fight it today....It gets smaller as you go along.

Congrats, I'm on day 3 here and it's a little harder than day 2. But not letting that nasty stuff touch my mouth.

I have all sorts of cravings, including once in a while getting buzzed, but I don't give in to them. I no longer feel that I have to give in to any of my cravings, now, and I am so glad I don't.

Hi and welcome LLV,

Forty four days is a great achievement, I honestly mean that. That AV weakens with time and following some kind do program.

All the best

Thank you Dee. Your words of wisdom and advice to others here have been a big inspiration and motivation for me from the first day I started reading here.
