I haven't had a drink now since 10 pm last night.

No, no, I had a few snifters last night. It's Tuesdays and Wednesdays which are now dry.

I'm not going to manage this, am I?

If you mean’Will doing this fundamentally change my relationship with alcohol?’, then no, it won’t.

Oh, right. You probably ought to have tried starting off small and building up. Y’know, 24 hours one week, then 48, then 72. Just going straight into the 72 hours seems rash. Dunno what you were thinking of.
