I'm coming up on my one month mark (4 weeks).

On the one hand, I find that I do not think about running out for a shot in the afternoon when I start feeling pressured and anxious, like I used to. On the other, I feel like I could go on like this (~10u per night) forever... (or until my health fails).

I don't really remember from the book, but what does it (and you) say about actively planning to take AF days. Should it be done? Should I try 2u nights first? What's the strategy?

I'm sure since I've been steady around 10u I can expect a fun night and day after, after cutting back.

Took last Wednesday off, AF. It couldn't have been easier, really. I was surprised, after the average consumption that's been steady since starting the program, that there weren't any noticable withdrawal symptoms; especially getting a really good night's sleep! (Took one Melatonin to help)

Hi Matt, I'm happy to hear that things have started well for you and I hope it continues that way for you!

As for what to expect? If you've been reading the progress reports you will probably know by now that there are a variety of reactions, there a good thread called "What to expect" and it gives a good general outline of people's experiences.

Good luck!
