good riddance mr alcohol

[OneHillWonder]

:thumbup: well done JtB, very good post. You will be better without the booze

My other half's dad died at the age of 52 - far too young - because of years of alcohol abuse. His alcoholism was a cruel disease, to him and to those who loved him. If only he'd said good riddance few years earlier before making the transition from heavy drinker to alcoholic.

What's wrong with laughing out loud?

2 days easy, 3 tonight. the real test is this weekend. i am buggered if i can sleep but that was why i started in the first place. for a while it worked then the bad dreams started and i felt for a number of years now that it was beginning to lead me astray

i find it hard to cope with the difficult issues surrounding my home life but alcohol isn't my real problem and i hope when the real problems steady or come to an end i may be able to return to responsible drinking, like having a glass of wine when i go out for a meal or a few halves if i go out at the weekend, but i never want to bring it over my threshold again.

I've been t-total since new years eve 2004 JTB.
I know exactly what your going through mate.
I actually took up exercise to tire me out and help me sleep, which is how I eventually found my running legs.
I used to do weird things subconsiously... like eating Malteasers and storing them in the fridge where my cans used to be.
Some of us like to keep busy JTB. I always enjoy doing and learning new things about life and never regret abstaining from alcohol. Sure I dont I dont get invited to many parties these day but I also don't suffer from bad dreams, headaches and all the other ailments attached to the poison we call 'British Culture'.
If I was the Prime Minister I would make alcohol really inexpensive so that everyone can afford to get wasted anytime they like. That way, no one would be in a fit state of mind long enough to complain.
Oh... thats already happened?

Seriously JTB
Its gets easier and you will get stronger each day mate.
