I haven’t had more than a couple of days off in decades (apart from 2 pregnancies) I’m nearly 50 and I drink at least a bottle of wine a night, usually more.
For the last few years I have suffered with discomfort in my liver area but even that didn’t stop me. However, just after Christmas this turned into complete agony. I obviously didn’t seek medical help and relied on bargaining that if I didn’t die I would never drink again!
I don’t know if that will last, I can’t look that far ahead, but I’m on day 11 and I’m doing ok.
The pain has gone and it’s so tempting to think I will be ok if I moderate, but I know I’ll go back to how I was.
I can’t believe I am actually doing it. I really want to keep going as I know it will kill me if I go back.
I’m posting here to keep a record and hopefully be boosted by people who have done it. Thanks for reading :)

Congratulations keep going there is a beautiful life waiting on you with a clear head I am dry and life is so much better, clearer no anxiety 😟 more energy, better coping, no pains in stomach, no wasted Saturdays and Sunday crying in bed eating sausage rolls and lucozade. Spending the day thinking what did I do? What did I say? What way was I dancing? What will them people think of me? Drink is the devil 👿
