    Not booked, implication was I didn't ring, very, very busy, could wait, but no guarantee I would get looked at today.

    As I'm on flexi time, I cant stand that chance, so home changed and off to work.

    Call isn't on home phone bill, mobile bill is at work, I hope I have proof of the call, letter will be going in.

    Sometimes I wish I drank;)

    Hi Grex

    Whether it's a disease or not is still debated. There's chemical imbalance theories and all sorts of other possible causes. Nobody really knows, is I think the most accurate answer. Whether it's hereditary is just another debate, though I know of nobody in my recent family who had a problem, no grandparents/parents/uncles or aunts had any trouble.

    A few things for you to think on. Does your drinking interfere with everyday life, are there times when you just HAVE to drink, are there times when you can't stop until you fall over/pass out ?

    At the time i was trying AA they did say there's a difference between heavy drinking and alcoholism, consumption alone was not a marker.

    Sorry I can't be clearer, but it's an inexact subject with even more intexact answers :o

    Hope this is at least of some use to you :)
