I mean I suppose it is Day 1 technically, but it is a shame that you can't consider it 21 days, isn't it? Kind of allowing yourself a "do-over-day". You are very fortunate that you have your girlfriend telling you like it is...not really an ultimatum, but just speaking her mind. She likes you better sober. And you 've said it yourself, you like yourself better this way too. So although you are really doing it for yourself, it's nice to know somebody else sees things your way. Though it would have been nicer if she would have taken one for the team and just killed that bottle herself before sleeping! Kidding!

Thank for explaining the tea. I've heard of it but had little idea of what it really was. I wonder, does the other poster's comment about the alcohol that is produced during the fermentation process have an affect on your drinking the tea now?
