Congratulations on your efforts - you should be so proud of yourself. I am a daily drinker, but my vise was a bottle of red wine each night. I have cut back substantially, sometimes going 2 to 4 days between drinking, but come Friday/Saturday I always drink again. Still working on that battle. On the days I don't drink, I go to an exercise class when I'm usually pouring my first glass - I make myself go out the door and do the thing I least want to do (exercise) - but when I'm done, I then crave lots of water and as I feel healthier, I am less inclined to want to ruin that with alcohol. I find a cup of tea eliminates a craving sometimes too. Good luck with your withdrawal - others on this board will have better advice, but I wanted you to know how proud I am of you!!
