    Well guys, day 37 most of the way through:D

    Today was my 8th and final session with the counsellor:j I hope:eek:

    Basically the session was checking how I thought I'd progressed. Me I think I've done well. I feel good, I'm coping good, family is good.

    I've asked myself if just stopping the drink would have worked:confused: I cant deny that it has been a very big life changer in itself.

    What the sessions have done is to to show me how to cope better, when I do get stressed. It isn't an instant winner, something that is taking time, but I see the results, more importantly Mrs Mac has seen the results and commented:j

    What I will say is, drink does help you when times are hard, the trouble is, it is a depressant, short time gain, long term pain, as I've discovered to my cost:mad:

    What I'd like is, that for anyone reading this thread, who has a problem, that they will go and get help. I don't believe you can get through it without help. Go see a doctor, call AA, do something. You need a real life physical person to talk to, who knows what they are doing:o

    People who post on here can give you their opinion and view, I know its helped me, but this help isn't enough, go get more:cool:

    If by chance I've said something to offend, sorry.

    See you later

    Al

    Hey Al, who would have thought you would have made this post all those weeks ago.

    My keyboard is awash, yet again, reading back over your first few posts on the first thread and how far you have come since then.
