have done it....

Just typed all my history in a huge message for all and the darn site timed out so will shorten.

Heavy drinker for 20yrs now 44
0.5 bottle of brandy plus 4 x 5% cans a day at least since divorce in 2008
Cut down to 1-1.5 bottles of wine plus 4 cans last year
Lost driving license 2013
Got to have a cdt blood test to get it back
Didn't believe I could stop in fact terified to stop
Went cold turky two weeks ago
First three days hell hot/cold sweats, irritable, no sleep etc
Day 4 felt ok
Two weeks with no alcohol watsoever actually feeling brilliant.

I thought I'd never do it but I am!

Jim

Welcome to SR, Jim, and congratulations on two sober weeks. It feels great to have that monkey off your back, doesn't it?

Glad you found SR. This is a supportive, encouraging and understanding community.
