29 weeks tomorrow.
No alcohol and no craving for the last three days! I cannot remember when I have not craved alcohol.
At what point should I consider myself cured.
I think I should wait another month. See how things go. Maybe I should wait longer. What do you think?
I may stop drinking completely, I haven't made my mind up yet. If I do drink of course it will be NAL + drinking.

It's up to you to declare yourself cured (or de-addicted). Personally, I used the NIAAA guidelines as an objective definition of moderate drinking, but that's just me. I also waited a couple of weeks before making the declaration; waiting a month may have been more prudent in retrospect. No doubt right now you can feel that the addiction is gone, and that is great news!

Yes, hang on, I waffle back and forth, been really not interested in AL and today just had to get some wine and drank a bottle. But still that's better then in the past. I say wait, I believe this is a process that is not easily to be determined result wise.
