Ok, well.....you are going to get a lot of replies about putting the can down now. This site is hard core cold turkey. So if you cannot put it down right now, come back tomorrow and post.
People look at it here as drinking in an AA meeting.
Having said that, what I did is to make like I had the flu for the 1st 3 days, because that's what it felt like. I simply laid on the couch, ate candy, drank water non stop and watched tv. I had no one around me and just sweat it out.
I have 19 days now and it is so much better.
You will sleep a lot for about 4 days, then have insomnia for the next 4 or so days then you really start to feel the benefits.
The irritability will pass in the first week.
You will be very hungry so just eat a lot and just do whatever feels good for a couple of weeks.
I quit for a year once and the really hard part was a couple of months in when the novelty wore off. But by that time we know what the right thing is to do.
So, tomorrow when you put the tin down, come back and post roll call, unless your ready to chuck it tonight. I think that will be better, it will prove to yourself that you mean business.
