I was also an evening drinker (with the exception of some weekends). The first week or three were quite hard. Psychologically. I had no physical desire to drink at all. I am one of the lucky ones that gave up without too much trauma despite drinking for many many years. My husband is also a daily drinker. In the beginning he would not ask me to pour drinks or buy his alcohol. Out of respect I suppose. But now it doesn't bother me at all.

I've just gone 8 months sober and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will not drink again.

In the beginning I drank loads of water (still do). I posted here a lot too.

Hang in there.
