That's how it's looking like it's going to shake out for me personally, it was the same when I quit smoking. Didn't bother me except once in a great while.
However if I need any reminder of what will happen if I touch a drink again it's what happened when I started smoking again when I was in rehab. Didn't even miss a beat, right back to two packs a day.
