Just read a chapter on 'Eliminating Self pity' - which put a few things into perspective. I need to get a grip on not being 'normal' around alcohol. Just covered my lovely book in deep purple soft paper. Means I can read it without folks being too nosey at the title.

Thanks RA, surprised how easy this book is to read and my eye seems to land at where I need to read often. Like the self pity bit.
