In the early weeks it did cross my mind a couple times to "just have a drink" (cravings speaking to me/trying to tempt me). I remember one day early in week 3 i was eating a salad in the living room, i had a spur-the-moment thought to "finish off that bottle in there, one last time". But I came to my senses and remembered the HELL i had just been through the previous 2 weeks...... the extreme insomnia, the super higher blood pressure, the pounding heart, the shaky hands, etc.
It's a good thing by then i had discovered alcohol awareness websites such as this one, just might have given in had i not known about risk of stroke, risk of seizures, kindling, etc. I just threw away all my booze the day after that craving.close call.

Grubby, this was at my parent's house, I don't have anything at mine. My Mom and Wife went to some conference so I took my kids out to my parent's house. All of this was planned before I decided to quit and haven't really told anyone I have because most didn't know, or never made a comment about, how far I had gone. Once I get to a certain point I am sure someone will figure it out and say something. I am home now and the girls are in bed, so hopefully I can relax to some video games and this incredibly annoying headache will go away.
