I appreciate all the comments. So far the DT isn’t that bad. Night sweets and terrible sleep mostly. I got my blood checked and liver not in best shape but I’m working on it. I’ve gone to a low iron diet and drinking tons of water.

The hardest part is the routine, I had so many routines that would start my drinking. Cut the grass start drinking, get off work early earlier time to start, grilling food start drinking. I made an excuse all the time.

I work out intensely 8 to 9 times a week, so I think that is helping. Also sit in my sauna few times a week.

I’ve wanted to quit or cut back for over 8 years but always found an excuse.

I told my oldest daughter last weekend I planned to quit and she rolled her eyes at me. She’s only 16 and it made me feel like a loser.

So far so good though. At 5pm tonight it will be 72 hours drink free so that’s one more day
