    BHB, I'm a little concerned about your post if you don't mind me saying and this is what I struggle with when trying to quit. I am the same as you and don't get withdrawals till day 2 then worse on day 3. But I am with you that I would find it difficult to buy just 1 and stick to that. So I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice but I think somehow you do need access to alcohol just in case but it can't be in your face iykwim?? Have you discussed this with Mrs BHB?

    and can I update your score to 2/2? :D

    Hope so.......

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
