Hey Piggeh, sorry to hear about your story.
I hope things improve for you.
Have you seen anyone about your anxiety?

I had Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Counselling. Felt good for a few days after each session, but didn't help in the long run. Was also on citalopram - does perk you up once you're other the initial downer from going on them. Not sure I'd like to go back on them or not.

You can still keep saying it though, it might help someone

It`s not really about the amount of alcohol that you drink - more the effect it has on you. I would drink 3 or 4 cans of Tennants (9%) on a work day,a couple more if not working. At the very end,this went up to 7/8 cans over a 24 hour period. I didn`t really have `days` then. I drank a few, slept a bit and started again round the clock. Each can would last me 2 hours or more - I just sipped now and again to stay topped up. In rehab, the others told me that I couldn`t be an alcoholic as I didn`t drink enough. Even my doctor told me that I wasn`t alcoholic.
Made a mistake yeaterday. Bought a lovely looking cheesecake thingy from Waitrose (half price). Now I`ve read the description "A rich tart of mascarpone,sour cherries and Limoncello liquer in a butter pastry case". I can`t eat it, DD hates cherries and ex-wife on Cambridge diet. I`ll see if the neighbours want it - shame to bin it.

liquer

Does it actually contain any I thought they just "tasted" of:o

My mum tends to play it safe - she doesn't have anything that contains any alcohol or tastes like it. She also uses alcohol free mouthwash and doesn't drink non-alcoholic wine and stuff.
I've got lots of tiramsui, hoping that won't trigger a craving.
I'm doing better aren't I al mac? I'm getting somewhere aren't I?
