    That's a good question. My answer (which may well change if I give it more thought) would be that I don't consider myself to be in the same position as I was with cigarettes of 'wanting' to stop enough. :o If/when I do, I will employ the same tactics as I did with smoking. Additionally, I think it may be slightly easier to stop smoking, as it has for many years been the 'antisocial' habit, whereas drinking is still widely considered to be a social activity - as smoking was in the 50s and 60s. Until this changes, I think it will be harder than it otherwise would be (for everyone, not just me).

    I can agree with you there Lurkio. I don't crave fags like I do drink or I can ignore the occasional craving for a cigarette.

    I just got my liver function test back from my GP and he said the results were fine and showed no problems.

    I'm off to recuperate in the bath - being off work & having a bath in the afternoon feels so gloriously indulgent :D
