Yeah, I loved the clear headed mornings. Hold on to that memory when you feel like drinking at 2.30.
Try to anticipate the craving by having a full stomach, and diverting yourself with some activity. At least if you know it's coming you can plan for it.

Great suggestion....going to grab a protein shake at lunch and save it for mid afternoon. I've noticed that for me hunger and desire to drink are related...but if I start with beer, the food often doesn't happen! Thanks for taking the time to help.
no sickly stomach no pounding head, no severe muscle aches and sweating. Just pure bliss to enjoy a cuppa coffee in the morning feeling well Member

Congrats on your plan! You're heading for a great start!

Thanks so much for the replies. Am feeling a little anxious as weekend looms. I like to get up early to go to gym. On the way home I generally pick up my beloved first Saturday sixpack. I don't like to skip workouts, but don't know how tempted I will be. Think I may take only my license and leave wallet at home. Again, thanks for taking time to encourage me. Don't know how long it's been since I didn't go to bed drunk on a Saturday.
