    You can go back through the thread and see what we have had to say about ourselves, but if you want to ask any questions, go ahead.

    I find not drinking helps ;)

    Seriously, I went the AA way....well, kind of. I went to AA meetings every day for a few years, then about 5 times a week for another few years. I did service, I took advice, and I refuse to forget where drinking takes me.

    And now I dont drink. Its as simple as that. Havent been to a meeting for a while due to recently moving to a new area...and just havent got round to going! But I know the meetings are there if and when I need them.

    Nope. I have days when I want to 'switch off' and to not have to deal with life etc etc...but I know a drink will not help, it will only make any problem 10 times worse. I dont have cravings, urges or whatever you choose to call them. These days I have a thinking problem, not a drinking problem ;)
