Thanks SG. Thus far its only been a matter of thinking, "I usually have a drink now." I recognize it, but I'm not really suffering from the lack. One reason I stopped was that a while back I physically felt an itch in my brain when I wanted a drink. It only happened once, but it felt like something which could get much more intense. I don't want to permanently wire my brain for booze.

Like V, I think abstinence will work better for me for the same reason. Be strong SG, your bravery puts me to shame.
