Falling and Expatsia...the waiting is the hardest part for sure, and 6 months was a tough time for me. It seems like a LONG time, but really it's just such a small part of our life, and TSM has made such a HUGE difference for so many people! What else would we be doing, anyway??? Yup, I agree w/ Falling that the ability to acquire AF days are an important part of our cure. E, if you can get one under your belt, you would probably be amazed at how great you'd feel the next day...not a trace of hangover, and the PRIDE. Many people describe it as "impowering"...true that!. Maybe you could set up a very contrived "out-of-the-ordinary" setting to do this, such as plan to go to dinner somewhere alcohol is not served, and then immediately to a movie, something like that. Be creative! I know you can find a way to make it less difficult.

Best to you both!
